Music Stars Speak Out About Government Anti-Piracy Plans

Music stars, songwriters and producers have collectively given the finger to the British government’s new plan to ban persistent music sharers from the internet. The Government’s Digital Britain report stated its aim was to reduce file-sharing by 70% in the first year. In a move that has commentators speculating on exactly how far the government will bend over and spread ‘em for big business, some of the proposed methods include suspending the Internet accounts of repeat file-sharers or to release their identities making it easier for them to be sued. Cheers, the government.

Stereophonics Cardiff Castle Tickets Sell Out in 40 Minutes

Stereophonics homecoming gig at Cardiff Castle on October 3rd sold out this morning in less than 40 minutes. Hundreds, possibly thousands, of fans were left disappointed after queuing all morning only to be confronted with the dreaded sold out message. The Cardiff Castle venue holds a 10,000 capacity licence and See Tickets, who provided the fulfilment for the gig, could not keep up with the unprecedented demand for tickets as users were left refreshing a queue page - which ultimately proved futile.
