Royalty collecting society types MCPS-PRS have announced they are axing their internal General Counsel role, which means incumbent Crispin Evans will leave the society with immediate effect. It's not entirely clear why the society feels a retained General Counsel is no longer required given all the high profile projects Evans has worked on in his two years with the organisation - including the much reported digital copyright dispute with the BPI, efforts to convince the European Commission the collecting societies are not operating monopolies within their territories, and in negotiating the new agreement between MCPS-PRS and the BBC.
