MACCA SAYS PIRATE BAY RULING FAIR Anyway, Macca spoke about the big file-sharing story of the moment ahead of his headline performance at last weekend's Coachella festival and told the BBC that he thought the Swedish courts were right to find the four men behind the rogue BitTorrent tracker guilty of copyright crimes, though it's the little bands he's worried about obviously, not the impact everyone file-sharing Beatles tunes will have on the legit release of the Fab Four's digital catalogue, if and when that ever takes place. McCartney said (giving away that he doesn't get on bendy busses very often): "If you get on a bus you've got to pay. And I think it's fair, you should pay your ticket. Anyone who does something good, particularly if you get really lucky and do a great artistic thing and have a mega hit, I think you should get rewarded for that. I'm in favour of that sort of thing. The problem is you get a lot of young bands coming up and some of them aren't going to last forever so if they have a massive hit that's going to pay their mortgage. They're going to feed the children on that and if they don't get that money, if they don't see that money, I think it's a bit of a pity. Particularly for young bands if they've got a young family, I don't want to see them destitute after a couple of years when they were mega. So I think it [the Bay ruling] is fair". He added: "I've been very lucky because my main era with the Beatles was at a time when everyone did get paid". -------------------------------------------------- MAJORS AND ISPS RESPOND TO PIRATE BAY According to The Register, Universal chief Lucian Grainge, somewhat unsurprisingly, disagreed with those delegates at Friday's Digital Britain seminar who argued that P2P file sharing was actually a boon to the creative industries, even if it meant their work was distributed without compensation. Grainge maintained that the financial risk that companies like record labels take in launching and developing new creative talent needed to be rewarded, otherwise they wouldn't take the risk any more. He argued that the content industries needed to maintain the momentum of The Pirate Bay trial and continue to act to restrict illegal content distribution online, in order to ensure those legit digital music services in development had the best chance of succeeding. To that end he urged Communications Minister Stephen Carter, present at the event, to give serious consideration to the "graduated response" enforcement regime being proposed by the record companies. In case you wondered - that's what record label chiefs seem to be calling 'the three-strikes system' these days. The graduated response would see ISPs sending increasingly stern letters to persistent file-sharers, ultimately cutting off those who continued to access or upload unlicensed content. As previously reported, Carter and his colleague IP Minister David Lammy don't seem so keen to follow through on Culture Minister Andy Burnham's previous promises of forcing internet service providers to take a more proactive role in policing online piracy. Carter is advocating a Digital Rights Agency, which would look to further cooperation between content owners and ISPs, though major label bosses see those proposals as a distraction to put off the difficult decision of cutting off persistent illegal file-sharers. Somewhat ironically, one organisation that represents internet service providers also welcomed The Pirate Bay ruling and the momentum it created in the fight against online piracy, though because, as far as they are concerned, it proved there was no need for a "graduated response" enforcement scheme at all. What the ruling in the Swedish courts proved, internet body LINX said yesterday, was that the courts are fully able to deal with the online piracy problem, and that there is no need for ISPs to get involved. According to Techwatch, LINX spokesman Malcolm Hutty told reporters: "This is vindication for our view that justice prevails when both sides have a fair trial. Copyright law enforcement should be handled in courts, where both party's rights are protected. Justice is undermined when innocent intermediaries such as ISPs are asked to bypass the court system for the sole benefit of the record labels. We hope that this verdict will give political leaders more confidence in the courts, and show they need not give in to music industry demands for preferential treatment". Of course, aside from the cost of monitoring illegal file sharing and administrating the aforementioned warning letters, not to mention the irritation and tricky PR of cutting off otherwise paid-up customers, those who oppose the three-strike system - ISPs especially - point out that the scheme gives content owners and/or net firms something nearing a judicial role with regards deciding whether or not a consumer deserves internet access - what happens, they say, when someone is falsely accused of file-sharing? Those concerns were high up the agenda in New Zealand where the three-strike system became law without any obvious consideration being given by political types to that question. As a result the new laws are currently on hold. In France, where three-strikes is also seriously being considered, a government agency will be established to deal with appeals. If three-strikes were to become law here (which seems unlikely at the moment), Carter's Digital Rights Agency might take that role. Of course, the record companies, while not wishing to diminish the glow of satisfaction they are feeling regarding last week's Pirate Bay ruling, might take the role of the realist when responding to Hutty's remarks. While the content owners did win the case against the Bay, it took an incredibly long time to get to court, the site is still live despite the rulings, an appeal is now almost guaranteed, and at least three of the defendants are unwilling to pay even a portion of the damages they were ordered to hand over. There is nothing especially efficient about fighting file-sharing through the courts and the three-strike system, while by no means perfect (and little deterrent to offline file sharing, or sharing via the so called dark internet), is a damn site quicker than going through the motions of suing the owners of file-sharing software and BitTorrent trackers. -------------------------------------------------- HACKTIVISTS ATTACK IFPI.ORG According to The Register, 250 hackers took part in an online discussion at the weekend and agreed to attack the IFPI's global and Swedish websites. The IT website reports that as a result the trade body's website was down or running slowly yesterday, though it seems OK at the moment. The attack was given the name Operation Baylout, and the admin of one of the discussion forums where the plans were hatched told The Register: "They want to get the message across that the IFPI can not mess with the internet and that the internet is serious business". -------------------------------------------------- PRS FOR MUSIC REVENUES ON THE UP Confirming the record pay out, PRS For Music boss Steve Porter told CMU: "PRS For Music exists to ensure the songwriters and composers get paid when their works are played, performed or reproduced and I'm delighted we've been so successful in both promoting music use and paying those who created it. These royalties sustain this vital UK industry; nurture new talent as well as enabling our members to earn while they continue to create the music we love". PRS collect money on behalf of songwriters and their publishers every time a song gets played in public, whether that be on the radio or TV, via an online music service, at a gig, or in a shop or café. For fans of stats, we can tell you that 19.7 million performances were tracked by PRS in the last quarter, with 743,000 individual songs earning royalties. 65% of the cash comes from UK royalties, while the rest comes from international use of UK songwriters' music, especially in the US, Germany and France. -------------------------------------------------- MORE ON MADONNA FALLING OF A HORSE PINK FLOYD SUE EMI RONAN KEATING ON CANCER SCARE The Boyzone singer, who was on holiday in South Africa when he found a lump on his testicle, told the paper: "It was really scary. I thought I definitely had cancer. The lump felt very different and I knew straight away there was something there. I had written myself off. I had the songs picked for my funeral and everything. I called my GP straight away. He told me it was probably fine but to come and see him when I got back. Being a hypochondriac I feared the worst. We went to the beach, the wine region and on safari, but I worried the whole time. It ruined the holiday". The lump turned out to be harmless, but the experience has made Keating keen to raise awareness about the disease he feared he might have. "Men are too proud", he said. "They don't want to get their testicles checked by some doctor and they won't see one if they do find something. Because I'm always preaching about checking yourself regularly, I'd be a bit of a hypocrite if I didn't do it myself". SINGER TILAHUN GESSESSE DIES Gessesse was born in Addis Ababa but was taken by his grandfather to Waliso when he was fourteen years old, where he attended the Ras Gobena Elementary School. It was here that his interest in music was encouraged by the school's Sudanese principal. He ran away from his grandfather, who was keen for him to pursue more academic disciplines, back to Addis Ababa, after being advised that it was the best place to be if he wanted to embark on a career in music. He initially sang with the Hagar Fikir Association, before joining the Imperial Bodyguard Band. He later fell foul of the government and ended up in prison, moving on, following his release, to the country's national theatre. He went on to perform on several occasions for emperor Haile Selassie, and over the years received many prizes and honours. A dominant figure in Ethiopian culture for more than half a century, his death prompted TV and radio stations in the country to break into programmes in order to broadcast tributes. CLASSICAL BRIT NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED James Newton Howard is nominated for his work on two soundtracks, for 'I Am Legend', and for latest Batman movie 'The Dark Night', a nod he shares with co-composer Hans Zimmer. Elsewhere on the list, conductor Charles Mackerras is up for Male Artist Of The Year and the Critics' Award. Jose Carreras, as previously reported, will receive a lifetime achievement award. The ceremony will be hosted by Myleene Klass, and takes place on 14 May at the Royal Albert Hall, featuring performances from the aforementioned Carreras and fellow Three Tenors tenor Placido Domingo. The award show is scheduled to be broadcast on ITV1 at 10.35pm on 19 May. Dickon Stainer, chairman of the Classical Brit Awards Committee and vice chairman Barry McCann said in a joint statement: "During the past ten years, the show has celebrated all areas of the recorded classical music business and not only honours those who have succeeded but provides an all-important stepping stone to those in the early stages of their career both locally and from abroad. The list of contributing artists over the years pays tribute to the standing in which the awards are held and in this, the tenth anniversary, we are confident that the penetration of classical music in the home will continue". KATY PERRY IS MOST PLAYED MTV ARTIST Perry's 'I Kissed A Girl' topped the list of platinum winners, with 21,863 plays, smashing the previous most player record of 16,095 plays held by Leona Lewis. The top three artists - Madonna was second with 'Give It 2 Me' and Pink was third with 'So What' - were all awarded double platinum status, and all beat Lewis's aforementioned record. Other artists receiving platinum awards included Rihanna, Coldplay, and Ne-Yo. The network's list of their 43 top playing artists also featured the likes of Lady GaGa, Gabriella Cilmi, Madcon, Jason Mraz, The Script, The Ting Tings, MGMT, Duffy and Amy Macdonald. Katy Perry responded like this: "I can't believe you watched me kiss a girl 21,863 times. I'm glad I got this plaque instead of chapped lips! Thanks MTV". Bruce Gillmer, Senior Vice President Music, Talent & Music, bigged up his Network thus: "MTV is the original home of music videos, and these Awards demonstrate the continuing importance of artists' videos for our audience. The year on year increase in the number of total plays also underlines that MTV is not only committed to increasing our music output across our network of channels but that with over a third of the Awards being presented to new acts, is also committed to championing both new music as well as established artists". BLINK 182 BEGIN REHEARSALS Hoppus wrote: "Good day today. Started tracking the new Motion City Soundtrack record, and then four hours of Blink 182 rehearsal. It was the first time the three of us have played our instruments together in the same room in a long time. We still have sooo many songs to rehearse. Barely even scratched the surface today, and it was so much fun. Can't wait to get this tour all put together!" WILLIAMS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT NEW ALBUM FRANZ FERDINAND GO DUTCH ON SINGLE He also revealed that he has remixed the new Little Boots' single 'New In Town', in a similar fashion to the remixes of his band's own songs which will appear on a special Franz Ferdinand remix album called 'Blood' set for release in June (a track from which appeared on Domino's special Record Store Day release last weekend). Kapranos: "When we were at the NME Awards I met Victoria Little Boots. I've remixed her great new single 'New In Town' as a version called 'No One Is Safe'. I made it in a similar way to the 'Blood' LP of alternative versions of our last LP. It's still my favourite way to listen to the record". -------------------------------------------------- SONIC YOUTH GIVE AWAY NEW TRACK The band play a gig at Scala on Monday, and appear at ATP: Nightmare Before Christmas at the end of the year. -------------------------------------------------- BEATLES REISSUE ARTWORK PREVIEWED ![]() SIMPLE MINDS ANNOUNCE ARENA TOUR Simple Minds UK tour dates are: 30 Nov: Newcastle, Metro Radio Arena -------------------------------------------------- MASSIVE ATTACK TOUR 17 & 18 Sep: London, Brixton Academy GLASTO FREE TICKET LINE IS REDRAWN Glasto boss Michael Eavis confirmed to reporters: "Our relationship with the villagers has always been extremely good, but this year there was a slight change to the boundary for free tickets, which is now slightly smaller. As a result, a small percentage of people who have in the past got free tickets are now being offered the option of Sunday tickets". The Independent found one affected resident who wasn't very happy with the change. She told the broadsheet: "For most of us who live within the boundary, the festival impacts on us in one way or another - in my case it's the traffic. If you get a free ticket, you turn a blind eye to it, because you've got a week or so of having a good time. Normally you feel quite benign about it all. But if you don't get a free ticket, you don't feel quite so benign. My particular road is used as a rat run. From Wednesday night, there is a constant stream of caravans and campervans going through. Normally it's OK because you think 'That's great, they're all part of what I'm part of'. But that changes if you're suddenly having to pay a lot of money. It's tricky because we're all locals and we don't want to fall out. But on the other hand, we feel quite strongly about it". Defending the move, Eavis points out: "I don't know any other festival or major event that looks after people who live locally as well as we do, and the majority of people will remain unaffected". -------------------------------------------------- NEW LIVE STAGE AT GLOBAL GATHERING Confirming the new stage, Global Gathering's James Algate told CMU: "We're happy to be supporting even more emerging live talent this year coupled with the already established bands on the bill. Global Gathering will not only see the likes of hotly tipped Sneaky Sound System on one stage but festival heavyweights The Prodigy on another. With our line-up and our untouchable production, this year's festival is set to be a real crowd pleaser". Global Gathering takes place on 24 and 25 Jul near Stratford Upon Avon. -------------------------------------------------- WYCHWOOD MUSIC FESTIVAL, Cheltenham Racecourse, Cheltenham, 29-31 May: Little Boots is the latest act confirmed to play Wychwood.

We look forward to working with The Eleven Seven Music Group and taking their artists to new levels of success in the UK and Europe". -------------------------------------------------- BEST BUY LOOKING FOR UK STORES According to the newswire the Best Buy/Carphone Warehouse joint venture is considering possible retail units in Southampton, Bristol, Cardiff, Swansea, Ipswich, Crawley and at the Lakeside shopping centre. It's thought the new stores would carry the Best Buy name and, while they may have Carphone Warehouse mobile phone departments in them, would sell all kinds of consumer electronics. It's not clear if the new stores would, like their US counterparts, sell CDs and DVDs. Best Buy also own Napster, though it's not clear either whether they would try to flog the subscription based digital music services in-store. Although Best Buy tend to prefer out of town stores, there were rumours they were looking for a central London shop, with some speculating they may take one of the former Virgin Megastore/Zavvi units, maybe the iconic Piccadilly Circus unit occupied by Tower Records back in the day. SPOTIFY WORKING ON MOOD-BASED ADVERTS Speaking to marketing agency Iris Digital, Mitchell said: "If you're a brand that needs to reach people in a relaxed mindset - perhaps they're listening to Ibiza chill-out - we know that 15-24 is in that mindset and therefore you can serve the right brand to them". Yeah, but getting the right adverts for people listening to relaxing music is easy. I'll be more interested to see what I get served on my thrash metal and hardcore marathons. INDY COULD BE SOLD AS INM REVIEWS OPERATIONS Some shareholders, though not O'Reilly, are pro selling off their loss-making UK broadsheet, though in the current climate it's unlikely such a sale would bring in much cash. It could, however, take some liabilities off the company's hands. Some have previously speculated that the Daily Mail's owners are considering buying the broadsheet. Talks between the two companies last year led to the Indy moving its operations into the Mail's London HQ, though both sides have previously insisted the rental arrangement, and the sharing of some back-office operations, are as far as the two companies' relationship will go - ie the Mail isn't going to buy the Indy. Another possible buyer was thought to be Russian mogul Alexander Lebedev whose recent UK media purchase, the Evening Standard, is also based in the Mail HQ. However, commentators say that problems elsewhere in Lebedev's business empire will prevent him from acquiring the broadsheet at this time. Either way, O'Brien's advisors have been going through the books and are expected to provide their recommendations for the business on Friday. It may be bad news for Indy hacks, but City types reckon whatever sales come about as a result of O'Reilly's sidelining will be good news for the parent company's sharholders. So, buy buy buy. (It's a shame more people don't have that attitude to the Indy itself, otherwise it's sale might not be seen as necessary to ensure the long term success of INM). -------------------------------------------------- NEW TALENT STAR DENIES FALSE START WAS PLANNED Jafargoli initially told the judges on the show he'd do them a rendition of The Zuton's 'Valerie' in an Amy Winehouse stylee. But when the performance got off to a bad start, rather than bringing out the crosses and kicking the young wannabe off stage, Cowell asked if he had anything else he could sing instead. Conveniently, Jafargoli had prepared a rendition of Michael Jackson's 'Who's Loving You' and had left a copy of its backing track with the technician back stage. His homage to Jacko then subsequently wowed the crowds. Some viewers accused Cowell and 'Britain's Got Talent' producers of setting up the false start so to win over public sympathy for the wannabe pre-teen pop star. Cowell, of course, is keen that the public fall in love with more entrants than just Susan Boyle, who stole the show at the Scottish auditions, so that the whole series doesn't become a one horse race. But producers have denied those claims, as has Jafargoli himself, who told WalesOnline: "I thought to myself that this was my one chance and I'd blown it. I stood there and thought: 'What's gone wrong?' But I couldn't believe Simon Cowell had given me a second chance. He's basically God in the music industry". He explained to the Mirror: "I was told to bring a second choice with me so I had practised both songs really hard. I don't suffer from nerves too much so that helped me and I was delighted with the judges' comments. They already make me feel like a winner". Of course cynics might say it's in Jafargoli's interests for people to believe his false start was genuine, so to win more public support, though that would mean those cynics were accusing a twelve year old of being involved in Cowell's manipulative plans. And shame on you for thinking so. Doing her bit to ensure Cowell's big show isn't just one big Boyle-fest, Demi Moore, whose Tweets in support of the Scottish spinster last week helped make the Elaine Paige wannabe big news in the US, got onto Twitter to comment on Jafargoli too. "Wow, this kid is something else", she wrote. Do you reckon Demi and hubby Ashton Kutcher on commission to get the world talking about Cowell's ITV show? Ah, there goes that cynicism again. TOTAL ROCK WORLD ALBUM CHART 1. Nickelback - Dark Horse (Warner/Roadrunner) THAT MARILYN MANSON IS JUST SOOO OUTRAGEOUS! Maybe I'm wrong, maybe Manson can say something to show there's some sort of intellectual reasoning behind all of this. Here's what he told Kerrang!: "This is not a record that we would leave black and self-titled and mature. This is the experienced record. This album is the twelfth-grade guy that has VD and did cocaine in high school, who has been arrested once and the ninth-grade girl wants to fuck him". That'll be a no then. |
