British Music Rights (BMR) has today launched an 'Awareness Week' against the use of controversial free online music swapping services, such as Napster and MP3.com.
Published: 27 November 2000 12:20 GMT
The campaign hopes to protect the 29,000 music writers in Britain, who contribute over £3.2bn to the domestic economy.
High-profile stars such as Sir Elton John are also backing the 'Respect the Value of Music' drive, which aims to target the 'threat' of free music.
File-sharing devices allow users to freely swap digital music files over the net, giving rise to illegal 'virtual' music collections on a user's PC.
The annual worldwide cost of lost music sales to file sharing is estimated to hit the £3bn mark by 2005.
