proposals to extend copyright for sound recordings from 50 to 95 years
March 9, 2008
In case anyone thought performing artists were also the music business or part of it……Here’s an email from PPL
I just wanted to alert you to some good news in our campaign on copyright term. The Commission has this morning announced proposals to extend copyright for sound recordings from 50 to 95 years. Making the announcement, Commissioner Charlie McCreevy said he no longer wanted performing artists to be the poor cousins of the music business.
A DIGITAL AND CREATIVE INDUSTRIES ACTION PLAN
March 6, 2008
Here’s a message from our friend Peter Jenkinson, some of you know him, some of you may have no idea who he is. During 2007, CIDS commissioned research into the creative industries in Greater Manchester. This was undertaken by Manchester Enterprises and included questionnaires and one to one consultations with a selection of companies. In September, CIDS hosted some consultation sessions to give feedback on the outcomes. Attached are the summaries. The Music Network would like to hear your comments and opinions. Some of the points identified may or may not be applicable to the Midlands region. Perhaps we could start some discussions?
