BPI says it didn’t ban Amy
p2pnet.net News:- Organized Music’s BPI (British Phonographic Industry ) says it didn’t ban a 12-year-old Flowerburger Record songstress from its My Music competition.
According to the BPI, it would have been the girl’s record label that applied, The Inquirer has a spokesman saying, not the girl herself.
And, since Flowerburger Records has come out and said: ‘We think the public should be free from prosecution for downloading and sharing music,’ a stance somewhat at odds with its own view, the BPI says it declined the application, says the story.
“It it is untrue to suggest she was banned after ’snoops’ discovered to what label she is signed,” it has the BPI’s Matt Phillips saying. We don’t know what her views are on downloading, and even if we did, we don’t condone censorship. Since we did not ban her, it’s untrue to suggest we did so on the basis of her personal views.”
Publicists for Flowerburger records said Amy was ousted because of her support of downloading, adds The Inquirer.
