I admit this is fairly off-topic, but I feel it may have an impact on
music in the commons (see http://creativecommons.org) so I decided to
post it.

It seems the EU is considering a harmonisation of the various music
royalties collection agencies that exist across the block.

As this is going to enter a consulation state, it might be a good thing
if some kind of brief was submitted on behalf of royalty free music (to
avoid blanket policies that ignore its existance). Clearly, IFSO
is not the organisation to do so.

Malcohol.
