p2pnet news view P2P:- In July, 2007, “an unsigned Reader’s Write accused Fred Wilhelms (right) of having a vested interest in criticizing SoundExchange for not paying artists,” said p2pnet last month, going on »»» The author later proved to be Dick Huey (right), one of the RIAA-appointed ‘label representatives’ on the SoundExchange board of directors. An exchange of comments ended in Huey agreeing to answer questions put to him, partly in apology for what he acknowledged was an unjustified personal attack on Wilhelms Huey’s responses have been a long time coming, but here they are, in part, at least »»» Dear Fred, This took longer to respond to than I wanted – both because of a busy couple weeks, and because we moved away from the topics where I have direct knowledge and into areas that require research on my part. I’m not interested in being a SoundExchange conduit for every question you’d like answered – SoundExchange has official communication outlets, which you should engage directly with to answer your questions.

Pictured on the right after a discussion with environmentalists , he’s the front man for Big Music and Hollywood plans to use their Three Strikes and you’re Gone scheme to gain control of online product and content distribution by turning governments into copyright agents, the bill footed by local taxpayers, and ISPs into enforcers, acting against their own clients. In the process, one of his most outstanding achievements has been to pit members of a new independent music coalition against their fans, the people who keep them and their music alive.

p2pnet news view | P2P | Music:- The caption to the image below is:  “This is the graph the record industry doesn’t want you to see.” Why not? Because, says Times Labs Online which prepared it, “compiled from a PRS for Music report and the BPI ,” it make two things clear »»» that the growth in live revenue shows no signs of slowing; and, that live is by far and away the most lucrative section of industry revenue for artists themselves, because they retain such a big percentage of the money from ticket sales. And hopefully, says the article, “this analysis …  sheds some factual light on the claims and counter-claims that are paranoically sweeping across the music industry establishment, not least that put forward by the singer Lily Allen in this paper recently – and the BPI – that artists are losing out as a result of the fall in sales of recorded of music.” Even more striking, perhaps, is the discovery that, “revenues accrued by artists themselves have in fact risen over the past 5 years, despite the fall in record sales,” says Times Labs, continuing »»» It’s interesting too that, overall, industry revenues have grown in the period – though admittedly not by much – which arguably adds strength to the notion that, when the BPI releases its annual report claiming how much ‘the music industry’ has suffered from the growth in illegal file-sharing, what it perhaps should be saying is how much the record labels have suffered.

With the EU parliament scheduled to vote on a controversial EU telecom reform package, member states agreed to add a new paragraph, “prohibiting national authorities from excluding users from the internet without a court order,” p2pnet reported in May. However, in a move that in political doublespeak is being hailed as a ‘victory’ for consumers, and at the 11th hour, the clause, which would have protected people from the depredations of the Hollyood and the major record labels, has been drastically watered down.
