Music trade unites to fight against piracy October 27 2008
"A new umbrella organisation formed to represent Britain's entire music industry will today promise to deliver a five-year plan to plot a safer course for a sector that has been battered in the past decade.

UK Music intends to replace the disparate voices of the confusing tangle of bodies that previously represented the industry, frequently with conflicting viewpoints." [Guardian]

Behind the music at Musexpo: Can we fix a 'broken' industry?
"This week's conference in London brought into focus the lack of trust and transparency that is rife in the music industry

This week, the decision makers of the music industry rolled into London for the music conference Musexpo. Musexpo started out with three music executives having dinner in LA. Sat Bisla, one of the diners, realised that there needed to be more communication between the different areas of the music industry and started a yearly event." [Guardian]
