“incredinly warped,” eh? ;P

I just had an email from someone pointing out the folks at DigitalMusic like the droit de seigneur thought, too. If you want to see it, you’ll have to cut-and-paste the url.

Cheers!

The ‘advice’ comes in an Own It [them, not you] / BPI (British Phonographic Industry) pumping up a forthcoming seminar. Note the lock in the top left corner of the logo.”

Artists should join forces to ban all legal advise (seminars) and prizes organized or issued by industry controlled organizations whether they be collectives or publishers or record companies.

I have nothing against prizes, awards and legal advise, but theses should not be received from the enemy or partners in (one sided) contracts. The price is too high. The conflict of interest too great.
