Government by and for the Bee Gees

Reacting to iTunes chart naming Crazy as most downloaded song, Siån Berry, Principal Speaker, Green Party, said:

"Each song bought is a 79p commitment to stick to Apple's store and iPod players since the songs bought cannot be legally transferred to another format. We all need to think a little beyond the sheen of unscratched iPods and think how consumers and musicians will feel in a few years time when they are de facto locked into a single format by a single vendor. It's time to act to guarantee interoperability of DRM formats in order to consumer and musician's rights."


Tony Blair is tempted by his musician friends like Robin Gibb and Cliff Richards who he holidays with to extend copyright....in the Green Party we want to support open source and put the power into the hands of the downloaders....I guess you are doing it for yourself....
