Balance

"Artists for Balance in digital rights laws and Fairness to consumers".

16-track compilation featuring artists of different nationalities and musical styles, all of which are opposed to the current music industry trend to "strengthen" copyright. In fact, these are artists who feel that the music industry is going too far - to such an extreme that new legislations increasingly deprive their fans and consumers of the traditional civil liberties they used to enjoy after purchasing music. These are artists that are not in favour of suing file-sharers, and would rather see the industry embrace new, progressive business models like Creative Commons. The Balance compilation supports the European Consumers Group (BEUC) campaign for consumers digital rights, which can be found online at: www.consumersdigitalrights.org.

Fading Ways wishes to thank all participating artists in the Balance comp, as well as Dying Giraffe Recordings (Netherlands) and Jamendo.com, as well as BEUC for launching their excellent Consumers Digital Rights campaign.

The compilation CD can be ordered online at www.fwmusicstore.co.uk!
