Today is the inaugural meeting of the Featured Artists' Coalition in London. This group of featured artists, spearheaded by Billy Bragg and Blur drummer David Rowntree, aim to push for "a fairer deal for musicians at a time when they can forge direct links with their fans over the internet but music labels are desperately trying to shore up their traditional business models"
"One of the FAC's main roles will be to ensure that as the labels, ISPs and major internet brands such as Google prepare to carve up the music industry, artists get a fair hearing and more control over what happens to their content online.”
