MUSIC WITHOUT INDUSTRY
Petition published by MUSICwithoutindustry on Oct 02, 2007
75 Signatures 
|
Target: Independent music fans
Region: GLOBAL
Petition Background (Preamble):
Listen to your local or national radio, BBC or commercial. The likelihood is
that any music you hear will only be those bands which have been signed
to the big commercial labels who indirectly control many of the playlists.
If you ask local radio DJ's why they aren't playing music from the local
bands who are packing out the music venues in your area, the reason
they give is that they have no freedom to choose the music they play.
Big industry buys control of playlists.
Even the BBC marginalise independent
music to late night slots and Radio 6. Local BBC radio doesn't even attempt
to play local music.
This means that the really great bands you want to hear might never get
a break or reach a wider audience.

national prime-time air-play which is dedicated to independent and
unsigned musicians and bands, enabling "music without industry" to flourish.
