EU to introduce new music rights system
The European commission will tomorrow defy a high-profile lobbying campaign by composers and songwriters and order a new pan-European system of selling online music rights, reports the Guardian.
It says songwriters marshalled by Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees and including Bryan Ferry, Paul McCartney and Mark Knopfler have enlisted French president Nicolas Sarkozy and German chancellor Angela Merkel to back their campaign.
