The Copyright Directive and its two controversial measures – Article 11 (the link tax) and Article 13 (copyright filters) – continue to draw rebuke.
Several weeks ago, the Copyright Directive – and the controversial Article 13 measure – cleared a major hurdle in the European Union. The latest version includes statutes the music industry has long pushed for, including safe harbor reforms and new rights for European songwriters and artists. over a week ago, in an unprecedented show of support, over 200 copyright groups banded together.
Organizations d representatives from across the cultural and creative sectors united under one hashtag – #Yes2Copyright.
Now, critics have also banded together to derail the Copyright Directive its two controversial measures – Article 11 and Article 13 under hashtag #SaveTheInternet.
According to the bill’s opponents, the copyright law reform would silence critics and limit self-expression on the internet.
A petition, aptly dubbed Stop the Censorship-Machinery! Save the Internet!, has reached nearly 5.1 million signatures. This remains just shy of the goal of 6 million.
At first, that may seem like a very impressive number. Yet, the online petition first launched over 9 months ago.
Supporting staunch critic Julia Reed, MEP of the Pirate Party – a well-known pro-piracy group – Copyright Directive opponents have strict demands for the EU.
According to the website, the Copyright Directive – a ‘form of censorship’ – will destroy the cultural norms of the internet.
“The blocking of uploads, in combination with faulty algorithms, will result in so-called overblocking lead by the platforms, so that they can avoid legal violations.
“Even the sharing of links can become a massive problem on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and others.”
MOBY RELEASES NEW ALBUM EXCLUSIVELY ON CALM APP – WITH POTENTIAL AUDIENCE OF 45M PEOPLE
Meditation is at least a $1 billion industry in the United States alone, and while the lucrative fitness sector has proved to be a popular marketing platform for the music business, no major artist, until Moby, has tapped into the potential reach that the Meditation sector offers.
San-Francisco-based Calm has had over 45 million downloads to date and over 700,000 5-star user reviews.
Vinyl Is Raking in More Revenue for the British Music Industry Than YouTube
Amazingly, vinyl sales saw a slight 3.7% increase to £57.1 million ($75 million), nearly double that of video streams. Yet with vinyl comprising a 6.6% slice it’s admittedly not that big a proportion. The UK music industry my have grown it’s net worth 20% in the past three years but it is slowing down after streamings rapid growth.

WAIT… SPOTIFY IS ‘SUING SONGWRITERS’? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?
Yesterday (March 7), it emerged that four major owners of digital music services – Spotify, Amazon, Google and Pandora – had lodged legal appeals against the US Copyright Royalty Board’s recent decision to raise streaming royalties for songwriters (and music publishers) by 44%.
That royalty rise, which previously looked locked in, is now in serious jeopardy.
Apple Music, in contrast, has accepted the new rates, and declined to challenge what’s viewed as an important pay hike for songwriters.
SoundCloud is now offering students half off for SoundCloud Go+ streaming.
Eligible university and college students can now get the streaming service for $4.99 a month, down from $9.99.
SoundCloud Go+ is the premium tier for SoundCloud streaming, which offers high-quality audio streaming and an ad-free experience. SoundCloud’s entire track catalog can be downloaded for offline listening. SoundCloud’s collection of tracks is over 200 million, encompassing both user-uploaded material and content from labels.
