UK MUSIC SUPPORT PRS OVER "CYNICAL AND EXPLOITATIVE" GOOGLE As much previously reported, Google last week decided to block access to all premium music videos on YouTube in the UK, even though it has licensing deals in place with three of the four major record companies, because its licence renewal talks with PRS For Music - who represent the songwriters and publishers, the owners of two of the four copyrights that exist in most pop promos (the music and the lyrics) - have been faltering. PRS say they were happy for YouTube to continue to stream music videos while talks continued, but Google bosses decided to pull them anyway, presumably in a bid to strong arm the royalties body into agreeing to a less favourable deal, and maybe to secure public support in their bid to persuade the collecting society to play ball. As also previously reported, Google argue that PRS For Music is now asking for too much money for the rights to stream music by the songwriters they represent, and that their demands make the whole YouTube business model unviable because advertising revenues would never cover the costs of hosting the content. PRS For Music argue that the rates they are proposing are based on those set by the UK's Copyright Tribunal in a previous dispute between the collecting society's and various streaming music services, and that Google is just trying to build their business and boost their profits without paying a fair price for the music that is essential to that business. Although the Music Publishers Association issued a statement that sort of supported PRS shortly after YouTube announced the video blockade last week, it was generally left to the artist community to criticise Google in the media, mainly because they were conveniently doing the rounds of the TV studios anyway to promote the official launch of their Featured Artist Coalition. The music business at large, including the record companies, who will potentially lose revenue when access to their videos is blocked by YouTube, made little comment. Until Friday that is, when UK Music, the newish trade body that in theory speaks for the record companies, music publishers and artist managers, issued a statement very much backing the PRS, calling Google "cynical and exploitative", and accusing them of using "counter-productive negotiation tactics" in a bid to force the songwriting community to accept a deal which essentially sees them subsidising a multi-billion dollar company. The statement from the Feargal Sharkey headed UK Music read: "Great music attracts an audience. This has always been true, and it is true now, more so than ever. Internet start-ups have quickly learned that they can build huge user-numbers by offering access to our members' music. Creativity is the lifeblood of the digital economy. Such popularity is also proof of music's huge intrinsic value. Without this high quality raw material - generated by the endeavours and creativity of our songwriters, composers, artists and musicians and all those who invest in them - sites such as YouTube would be somewhat less compelling. However, whether online or offline, demands that our creative talent should subsidise someone else's business model is as unreasonable as it is inappropriate". It continued: "Licensing embryonic start-ups has brought significant challenges to all creative businesses. There still are challenges - for both sides - although they can and will be overcome. A huge diversity of licensed digital music services are already active in the UK, and as an industry we remain committed to growing the future of our business. Google, however, qualifies as neither embryonic nor a start-up. In 2008 alone, the internet search giant recorded profits of over £3bn. By comparison, PRS For Music is a not-for-profit organisation, run by its members for its members. In this light, it is difficult but to interpret Google's actions this week as anything other than cynical and exploitative. Such unheralded and counter-productive negotiation tactics are not only detrimental to music fans, but also to the UK's songwriters and composers". With the video blockade only now really coming into effect, and with tough talking like this suggesting there won't be a quick resolution to this dispute, it will be interesting to see what impact the removal of videos from YouTube has on all parties. We all know music videos are among the most popular kind of content on YouTube, and more savvy web users will quickly find other sources of pop promo content, possibly on unlicensed streaming sites or file-sharing networks where record companies and music publishers receive zero for their content. That said, there are other music video services, including the increasingly expansive MUZU TV, who last week criticised their rivals over their squabble with PRS and added that their own business model accommodated the collecting society's standard rates. And, of course, there is Spotify, the on-demand audio streaming service with an ever growing catalogue which, although not quite as all-encompassing as YouTube, is pretty damn big. True, it's audio not video, though given that until recently there were no expansive, truly on-demand, free and legal audio streaming services, I think there's a very high chance people were attracted to music videos on YouTube more because of the easy-access to songs rather than the visuals of the videos. That is to say, if the YouTube/PRS stand off proves to be long term, it will be interesting to see who loses out - everybody, or primarily Google. If the latter, that's gotta effect the video services' power at the negotiating table with labels and publishers all over the world. -------------------------------------------------- GOVERNMENT STARTS ANOTHER BLOODY DIGITAL COPYRIGHT REVIEW - THIS TIME IT'S THE 'RIGHTS AGENCY' CONSULTATION With the specific proposals in Carter's report regarding fighting illegal filesharing, and on the internet service provider's duty to assist in that fight, somewhat lacking as far as the music industry was concerned, the Lord's other proposal to launch a Rights Agency might be a way for the record companies etc to push the government on its past informal promises to force the ISPs to take more draconian measures against those who file share, maybe even cutting them off. That said, IP Minister David Lammy has called for more cross-industry discussions to take place before considering new laws to force the ISPs to act, still preferring the idea that record companies and internet firms should adopt a voluntary code regarding policing online piracy, presumably because he'd rather not be seen as the politician responsible for laws that could lead to kids losing their internet connection. Given that talks between music and net companies regarding such a voluntary code have been ongoing for sometime, without much agreement on anything really, other than the need to keep on talking, it seems unlikely a voluntary code that all sides can agree on will ever be drafted, and therefore any Rights Agency - whether an independent body or department of media regulator OfCom - will have to put some noses out by either turning a blind eye to internet piracy, or introducing draconian new rules that won't be popular with ISPs or net users. That said, and given all that, it seems unlikely any of this will be resolved before the 2010 General Election, meaning it probably won't be Lammy who opens the new Agency - in whatever form it takes - anyway. Still, it was him that announced the new consultation with content and net companies regarding what form the Agency should take and what powers it should weald. He said on Friday: "A properly worked out rights agency could be a real step forward. We can't have a system where even net-surfing 12-year-olds have to understand copyright in order to keep themselves and their parents safe within the law. The real prize here is a rights agency that sorts out the complexities that keep consumers on the right side of the law, and ensure artists get properly paid. We need to make it easier for consumers to do the right thing. The internet has become an integral part of daily life. You shouldn't need to be an underwriter to take out an insurance policy, and you shouldn't need legal training to surf the web". Lord Carter, Minister For Metaphor, added: "In the new digital age, copyright infringement has become easier and more socially acceptable, so it's clear we need some form of legislative backstop for the protection of rights as well as new and innovative ways to access legal content. Today we have published proposals in the form of a Straw Man on digital rights. That Straw Man could be torched, tolerated or a touchstone for the start point of constructive debate and design. I for one hope it is the latter". As well as discussing what powers the new Rights Body should have, other topics for discussion will include how it is funded, how it connects to government and/or OfCom, and how it can get involved in education initiatives to teach the masses the ins and outs of copyright. -------------------------------------------------- BONO WANTS MORE DONE TO STOP FILESHARING The U2 man told USA Today: "People think people like me are overpaid and over-nourished, and they're not wrong. What they're missing is, how does a songwriter get paid? It's not the place for rich rock stars to ask for more money, but somebody should fight for fellow artists, because this is madness. Music has become tap water, a utility, where for me it's a sacred thing, so I'm a little offended [by illegal downloading]. The music business has been thrown to the dogs legislatively. That will change when filesharing of TV shows and movies becomes as easy as songs. Somebody is going to call the cops". -------------------------------------------------- NEW ZEALAND TEL CO REMAINS OPPOSED TO NEW THREE-STRIKE LAW As previously reported, the three-strike system would mean that illegal file-sharers who ignore two or maybe three warnings from their ISP that their file-sharing amounts to copyright infringement would be cut off from the internet completely, and banned from switching to another net provider. The system, which is being introduced in France and New Zealand, and has been touted elsewhere, including in the UK, is not popular among the ISPs, and has been much criticised by consumer rights groups and web users, especially in the two countries where the system is likely to become a reality. In theory the system is already a reality in New Zealand where the country's government successfully got its three-strike proposals through its parliament. However, a globally supported internet campaign against the new laws, coupled with genuine concerns about who exactly will police them - unlike in France, there is no new government backed agency to oversee the disconnections - have led to the new measures being delayed. The content owners who lobbied for the three-strike laws are busy talking to tel cos about how the system could work, but comments last week by one of those tel cos - TelstraClear - suggest that the net providers aren't in a hurry to comply with the new rules. A spokesman for the phone company told reporters: "We have had an unprecedented large reaction from customers who knew it could force them to disconnect the internet with no proof they did anything wrong. We cannot do this to our customers". As in the UK it remains to be seen if a voluntary code can be agreed upon by the content and net companies, even though there the threat of new laws has already been fulfilled. -------------------------------------------------- RIHANNA/BROWN UPDATE To be fair to da Don, if you read his quote from last week, he never explicitly said they had been in the studio together recently. And now a 'source' has told People.com: "Contrary to published reports, Chris Brown and Rihanna did not record a duet after the incident". They added that although the two stars did record vocals for a da Don song, it was done last year and was only ever intended as a demo. So, there you go. Elsewhere in Rihanna news, reports that Revlon has hired a market research company to assess whether the singer's recent altercation with boyfriend Brown has had an impact on her desirability as a brand ambassador. Or something like that. It should be added that Rihanna is currently fronting a marketing campaign for Revlon's rivals Covergirl, so it's not that the cosmetics firm is reviewing its own relationship with the star with a view to dropping her for having the audacity to be beaten up by her boyfriend. That said, some wonder if Revlon is trying to gain some marketing advantage over its rival because of their association with a tarnished star, though given the general outpouring of public sympathy for Rihanna worldwide, that would seem like a dangerous strategy. It could be that the company is interested to know, on an academic level more than anything else, whether stars being involved in scandals, even as the innocent player, affects their value as a brand-fronting star. And, on an academic level, it would be interesting to know if it does. -------------------------------------------------- SOUND RELIEF RAISES FIVE MILLION CONCORD CHIEF DIES Gaba's background was business, having a degree in finance from Berkeley, and starting his career as city firm William O'Neill & Co, but he moved into the entertainments industry by joining Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin's Tandem Productions, a successful American television business. Forming long-standing business relationships with Yorkin and, in particular, Lear, by 1990 Gaba was CEO of media and entertainment group ACT III Communications. That company, though, did not own any music assets, something that Gaba had always wanted to do, hence his pleasure in acquiring, with Lear, the jazz and easy listening focused Concord Music Group in the late nineties. Heading up the label, Gaba got to work with and release music from many greats, including Ray Charles, John Coltrane, Sergio Mendes, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra. Gaba's Concord, of course, grabbed the headlines in more recent years by forging an alliance with Starbucks, including co-owning the coffee chain's short lived label venture Hear Music, perhaps most remembered for releasing Paul McCartney's first post-EMI solo album. Gaba is survived by his wife and two daughters. -------------------------------------------------- FORMER CAPITOL PRESIDENT DIES Livingstone began his career as a writer and producer of children's albums for Capitol, and in doing so created Bozo The Clown, a popular kids icon in fifties America. He moved into other domains at the US major, at one point signing Frank Sinatra, then at a career low, and helping to relaunch the crooner, partly by partnering him with arranger Nelson Riddle. After a few years away from music working in TV, producing Western series 'Bonanza' among other things, he returned to Capitol to sign the Beach Boy and Steve Miller And The Band, and to spearhead the launch of the Fab Four in the US, despite the fact other execs at the label had previously turned the British band down, despite them being signed to EMI, a sister label, in the UK. After departing Capitol for the second time Livingstone set up his own TV and music company, helping launch Don McLean among other things, before selling out and taking on a job at Twentieth Century Fox. Paying tribute to the former Capitol boss, Neil Portnow, the president and CEO of the National Academy Of Recording Arts & Sciences, told reporters this weekend: "He had great taste and judgment, as far as musical talent, and as an executive, he was always very mentoring, very supportive". CITY SLANG SIGN CORTNEY TIDWELL 10 May: Bristol Thekla THE DREAM WANTS TO COLLABORATE ON ALBUM WITH KANYE Responding to speculation about future collaborations between the two stars, Nash told MTV: "Everybody is trying to talk us into it. It was first thought of by me. I was in Miami at the time, and I gave Kanye a call and said, 'The best thing would be for me and you to do an album'. I feel he's at a certain place in hip-hop, I'm at a certain place in R&B, and lyrically, I'm just in a certain place in my lifetime". He adds: "Let's take the best of both worlds and put it on a CD and try to make something we can sell to the consumers. He says he's with it. We're gonna try to make it happen. I told him, 'Let me lift my profile up a little bit'". MARIANNE FAITHFULL FILM IN THE PIPELINE She told the BBC that her life had been "a great story", adding of the film: "It won't happen right away but we have found a director who I trust who wants to make the film". While she will approve the movie, she won't be directly involved in its production. She added: "I'm not getting involved. I'll read the script, when it's ready, which isn't for a long time, and then I'll leave it to the director and the actress he chooses. I don't want to have much to do with it. I want to read the script and like the script and then I'm going to let go of it and let them do what they want. That's the way to do it". Faithfull was presumably being interviewed because she's busy promoting new album 'Easy Come Easy Go'. There's a copy here on my desk that I keep meaning to listen to. FIFTY JACKO SHOWS SELL OUT Confirming the sell out, the boss of promoters AEG Live Randy Phillips told reporters: "The last week has been the most astonishing I have seen in my career in the entertainment business". Phillips has also confirmed that AEG have sort of fallen out with secondary ticketing firm Viagogo. With tickets for the Jacko shows up for grabs via various ticketing auction sites before they'd even gone on sale, AEG appointed Viagogo as its official resale service. But there were rumours that AEG/Viagogo's relationship had quickly soured after the secondary ticketing firm allegedly offered the premium ticket packages it was also selling to other agents and touts in London. Phillips told reporters his secondary ticketing partner "did something really bad" and added that his company was taking action to ensure only tickets bought according to their agreement with Viagogo were valid. While AEG are busy falling out with their secondary ticketing partners, they are presumably busy sucking up to their insurance company. While the original ten date O2 residency has been reportedly insured to the tune of £80 million, rumour has it no insurance company is willing to insure the full fifty date run, nervous it'll all going to go horribly horribly wrong - not least because of Jacko's state of health - and that they may be faced with paying out the £300 million that cancelling the full residency would probably cost. That said, Phillips insists Jackson is in good health, and says talks with AEG's insurers are ongoing. He told reporters: "The insurance brokers sent doctors and they spend five hours with him, taking blood tests. He's a vegetarian, he's in great shape. The insurance cover, we are working on that now". Finally in Jacko news, HMV has reported a four-fold increase in sales of Jacko's hits album 'King Of Pop' following all the hype that was created by the announcement of the singer's O2 residency. Sales of 'Thriller', meanwhile, are up 80%. -------------------------------------------------- THE FIGHTING COCKS ON TOUR Tour dates: BIG CHILL CONFIRM THEIR ZOMBIE-FILLED CINEMATIC OFFERINGS Oh, and Film 4 and Warp Films will be inviting festival-goers to dress up as zombies and be filmed for a special Big Chill zombie flick which will be made available online shortly after the event and which could just break the record for most zombies to ever be caught on camera at the same time. The non-music stuff will also kick off on Thursday, ie before the main part of the festival programme, meaning there will be extra entertainments for those who arrive early. Commenting on this year's movie related stuff, Big Chill's Katrina Larkin told CMU: "Last year over half the chillers arrived for the festival on the Thursday, a day before the main music entertainment. So this year, to our excitement, and following an approach from the BFI, the British Sea Power project fitted into place for Thursday. The Big Screen activities will be a lot of fun, and something a bit different. One thing is for sure - normally people look like zombies at the end of festivals, not the start!" SINGLE REVIEW: Animal Collective - My Girls (Domino) Buy from iTunes IFPI CHIEF CRITICISES CANADA'S RECORD ON COMBATING PIRACY With that in mind, the boss of the International Federation Of The Phonographic Industry, John Kennedy, has told the Canadian Music Week conference in Toronto that the country's ability to launch and develop global music stars is in jeopardy because "sky-high piracy rates" are crippling Canada's native music industry. According to Billboard, Kennedy argued that "the lack of interest in intellectual property by the Canadian government is truly astonishing", and added "this is becoming a problem because you are losing your best acts". But, he said, all is not lost, adding that with the right political will Canada could catch up, perhaps by adopting measures similar to those being considered in the UK and France - ie those that involve more collaboration between the music companies and the internet service providers. He concluded: "I think [Canada] can make up ground given the high level of digital high speed broadband penetration. But businesses have to see a decline in piracy so they can make a return on their investments". -------------------------------------------------- HMV APPOINT C4 CHIEF TO THEIR BOARD Confirming his appointment to the HMV board, Duncan told reporters: "I am very pleased to be joining the HMV group board. CEO Simon Fox and his team are executing a clear plan to improve and grow the business in changing markets, and I very much look forward to contributing to the board as the next steps in the group's transformation are charted". Still, following their recent move into the live music space, the recruitment of a media man into the boardroom could be an indication that HMV is planning further diversification, which would be sensible. SMITHS LAUNCH MAIL ORDER WEBSITE -------------------------------------------------- MERLIN DO DEAL WITH CATCH MEDIA Confirming the deal, Merlin top man Charles Caldas told CMU: "The Play Anywhere system is an exciting new development. Not only does it provides consumers with a convenient, safe and practical way to access their collections, but it generates new revenue for our labels that simply did not exist before. We are delighted to have the world's most important independent repertoire that we represent included in this groundbreaking initiative". Catch Media chief Yaacov Ben-Yaacov added: "We are very excited to partner with such a forward thinking company like Merlin, which has not only rapidly grown to be one of the most commercially significant source of independent music, but is also at the forefront of revolutionising the licensing of digital music". GLOBAL HIT BACK AT OFCOM CRITICISM OF ITS GWR BRISTOL OUTPUT OfCom says that GWR does not play enough contemporary music to satisfy the conditions of its FM licence. It gave the station a "yellow card ruling", adding that it had had complaints about similar failures to meet licence conditions about other Global stations, and that the radio giant should review all the output of all its mainstream pop stations. But Global has hit back, calling OfCom's actions "extraordinary", and claiming that the regulator ruled against its Bristol service without considering the data evidence it had previously requested. Global said in a statement: "GWR Bristol was asked to supply music logs to OfCom by today, Friday 13 March. The requested information was supplied by yesterday, 12 March. OfCom's decision was made without reference to either the station, or by talking to its owners, Global Radio. This is an extraordinary way for a regulator to behave by issuing a judgement before a deadline has passed. We do not accept these findings and are considering our position". CHART UPDATE In other new entries on the singles chart news, Oasis are at number ten with 'Falling Down' and September is at 14 with 'Can't Get Over', while Katy Perry rises from 42 to 27 with 'Thinking Of You', Leona Lewis is back in the top 40 with her cover of Snow Patrol's 'Run' at 32, Metro Station step up from 54 to 37 with 'Shake It' and Annie Lennox brings yet another cover into this week's top 40, with her version of Ash's 'Shining Light' moving from 50 to 39. Over in the album chart, U2 remain at number one, even though the single 'Get On Your Boots' has now crashed out of the charts. Meanwhile, things are a bit new entry-tastic below with, with Annie Lennox in at two, Kelly Clarkson at three, Taylor Swift at five, Faryl at six, Michael Ball at 11, The Dubliners at 16, The Everly Brothers at 23, Starsailor at 26 and Lee Mead at 39. The charts are compiled by the Official Charts Company CORNELL RESPONDS TO REZNOR'S SCREAM TWITIQUE As previously reported, Reznor said of 'Scream': "You know that feeling you get when somebody embarrasses themselves so badly YOU feel uncomfortable? Heard Chris Cornell's record? Jesus". Cornell has responded thus: "What do you think Jesus would twitter? 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone' or 'Has anyone seen Judas? He was here a minute ago'". Make of that what you will. Meanwhile, Reznor has had another more interesting rant about the whole secondary ticketing phenomenon. We'll round up his thoughts tomorrow, but you can read it right now at forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?9,548515 -------------------------------------------------- NOEL WANTS STREET CAMEO -------------------------------------------------- NOW IT'S CLAIMED PHEONIX FAN FIGHT WAS A HOAX TOO |
