The managers of Avril Lavigne, The Streets and Elbow are amongst those who’ve signed an online petition organized by Flowerburger Records naming the British music industry for suing fans who use p2p networks.
For British music industry read EMI (UK), Warner Music (US), Vivendi Universal (France) and Sony BMG (Japan, Germany), the Big Four Organized Music labels who jointly own the BPI, the so-called British Phonographic Industry, a clone of the RIAA, CRIA, ARIA and all the other ‘trade’ associations being used by the Big Four in their warped and bitter efforts to sue their own customers into buying product.
The petition, “invites people to show their distaste for the ongoing policy of the British record industry’s trade association, the BPI, of threatening fans with legal action unless they pay sizeable fines”.
