Professor Nesson,
I dont remember the exact details, but the gist of it was:
He talked about how the UK is moving towards an alternate model of music distribution (from BPI, which is their version of the RIAA). This model does not involve record labels at all and encourages, or at least allows, file-sharing. He mentioned working with an artists organization of about 200 groups. The UK is currently soliciting reactions and opinions on its proposal to amend the copyright laws. The matter was put to a vote in the artists organization and they almost unanimously voted to allow file-sharing rather than have it be penalized by copyright law.
