News from the Music Industry

Several EMI-owned labels and publishers sued Robertson and MP3tunes LLC, which runs www.sideload.com and www.mp3tunes.com, for willful infringement of copyright over the Internet, according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

Robertson said in a phone interview from San Diego he had not seen the lawsuit but the case appeared to be “retaliatory” as MP3tunes had sued EMI in San Diego in September over a take-down notice the record company sent for Sideload.com, a search engine for digital music files.

At any given moment, I find myself in a real panic about the future of humanity. Shine Over Babylon is in every way a desperate cry for understanding. Perhaps it is even a battle song in the face of fear.? Source: sherylcrow.com
