As a songwriter and performer, unsigned, I have to say that I’m ALL for this campaign. The music industry has certainly taken a turn for the worst when all credits are dismissed in a miserly method of not allowing wider bandwidth downloads.

it’s great to see the goverment funding research and institutions like cranfield getting the opportunity to apply some academic rigour to this business issue which will need a multidisciplinary approach to resolve – ‘we have the technology’ but it will probably take legislation to establish standards that have impact on social behaviour
The UK Technology Strategy Board recently announced a competition for collaborative research funding “Metadata: increasing the value of digital content”, which aims to solve some of the problems highlighted in the Credit where Credit is Due debate. http://bit.ly/9KiZoZ
This is the opportunity to engage in some applied research that will have a direct impact upon the future of production credit metadata.
If you are part of the production industry and interested in putting together a proposal with me then please get in touch. Together we might just save the ‘Who wrote what?” that inspires the next generation of record producers!
