MP urges Euro assault.
Minister hints at u-turn over Gowers
by Martin Talbot
Music minister Shaun Woodward used last week's Midem conference to urge the British music industry to take its term extension campaign to Europe.
And he appeared to open the door to a change of position in the UK, which could see an agreement to extend term of copyright on sound recordings - against the recommendation of the Gowers Report.
Woodward, who spent two days at Midem, spent time to meet members of the UK's Music Business Forum on the Sunday to discuss a range of issues - including Gowers' verdict on term extension.
He emphasised the importance of music to the economy. "We have a music business that sits within the creative industries which is now 8% of the economy and growing," he said. "Now, agriculture is less than 1% of the economy; the music business is bigger than the agricultural industry - and we used to have an agriculture minister!
"What we in the Government have to do is recognise the value of this industry and address the changes and opportunities to that industry."
