Music Jobs At Risk If Piracy Isn’t Solved, Says Official

Jay Berman, head of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), tells a conference in Cannes that “all jobs in the European music industry could be in jeopardy if record executives do not tackle the problems of music piracy. That’s 600,000 jobs, he said. “In truth, online music piracy is not about free music. The music creators and rights holders, denied the right to choose how their music is used and enjoyed, are in fact paying the price.”
