Artists  across the world are increasingly vocal about YouTube and other  platforms &#8220;siphoning value&#8221;. The European independent label body IMPALA commented: &#8220;The voice of  artists in Europe is key and it&#8217;s great that more and more are speaking  out. We look to Europe to take the lead. The value gap is costing  millions and it is essential to address it to ensure proper value along  the chain&#8221;, said Helen Smith, Executive Chair.  <!--more-->  <br \/> IMPALA underlines that the most efficient way to address the value gap  is through a legislative solution clarifying the current copyright  regime.<\/p>\n<p> As with the WIN Declaration two years ago, the independent sector has  committed to sharing that value with artists and is currently looking at  options to broaden the scope of the WIN Declaration commitments,  including in terms of transparency and alignment of interests which  artists have also flagged as key issues.<\/p>\n<p> IMPALA also emphasises the importance of platforms &#8220;playing fair as well  as paying fair&#8221;. With the independents accounting for over 80% of all  new releases in Europe today, it is essential that the EU makes sure  platforms can&#8217;t discriminate. &#8220;All artists are born equal and we look to  the EU to make sure that means something in a world where dominance  takes on a totally new dimension&#8221; added Helen Smith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\">Source: IMPALA<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over 1,000 artists have written to EU President Juncker asking him to close what is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6117"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6117\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
