Live sector

Stuart Littlewood, chairman, Concert Promoters Association

"I don't think it is right to pursue people through court, but then I don't think people should illegally download music either. I think it should be about educating people and co-operation--all interested parties need to work together to educate and encourage people to use legal sites."

Managers

John Glover, chairman, MMF

"I support anything against organised piracy. However, I have two concerns. Firstly, that sometimes with file-sharing it is a mate playing one of his favourite bands to his mates, which can have the effect of turning them on to new music. Also, I know from my two godchildren that kids get very frustrated when they hear records on the radio--sometimes a month before they are released and they can't buy them in the shops."
