Interesting little piece about the PRS and it's members.

They've set up a website/forum/online petition. Seems in the short term they're aiming for fair royalties from Youtube, but that will obviously head out across anywhere that relies on streaming music and/or video. Spotify next then...

Here's the link to the site I mentioned:

Some interesting comments. I found most interesting one that talks about the newer business models emerging. Because while U2 may be able to make up for lost album revenue by touring, what happens to the backroom people, the faceless songwriters who don't perform at all. You tend to forget how many people are involved in creating music that are behind the scenes.
