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
Moby has entered into an exclusive partnership with the world’s leading sleep and meditation app, Calm, to release his new album Long Ambients 2 today ( Friday, March 15) – World Sleep Day.
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.
The app’s Calm Music streaming platform has also exploded since its launch just 18 months ago with its catalog of almost 200 tracks having amassed over 150 million streams.
Vinyl Is Raking in More Revenue for the British Music Industry Than YouTube
Revenue from video streams (YouTube, Facebook, etc.) rose 9.9% to £29.7 million ($39 million). The BPI noted that YouTube delivered more than 30 billion streams in 2018: “This would have been greater still had video streaming platforms, predominantly YouTube, generated a great deal more than just £29.7 million in return for an estimated 30 billion-plus annual plays of music videos in the UK,” the organization stated.
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.
Geoff Taylor, BPI’s Chief Executive, wrote,
“Long-term growth depends on robust government action to tackle the value gap, promote investment, ensure online platforms take responsible action to reduce infringement, and secure the future talent pipeline by giving state school pupils the opportunity to discover and develop their talent.”
