The International Federation Of The Phonographic Industry said, well, pretty much the same.
Their top guy John Kennedy told reporters: "On the key issue on which Andrew Gowers might have steered the British Government to promote one of its most successful industries, his recommendation has missed a golden opportunity. Equalisation of copyright term is the issue which goes to the heart of the government's claim to value the British music industry. It is illogical and discriminatory that British artists and producers should enjoy less copyright protection than their counterparts internationally as well as British composers and songwriters. We believe that the government should firmly reject Gowers' recommendation and we will carry on pressing for parity and fairness in advance of the European Union's legislative review. Granting copyright parity would be a simple and cost-free way to improve the investment climate for British music, maintain Britain's creative edge and end discrimination against British artists and producers".
On the rest of the report, the Federation says: "Recommendations that penalties for online copyright infringement should match those for physical piracy are welcomed, as are proposals to give new stepped-up anti-piracy powers to UK trading standards officers and to review the levels of damages to make sure they are 'effective and dissuasive'".
