5. Daily Digital News from Music Ally: Pink Floyd and EMI in court over digital royalties and unbundling
Sparks flew in court yesterday in the dispute between Pink Floyd and their label EMI. The case focuses on how online royalties for the band’s back catalogue have been calculated, as well as the way albums have been sold ‘unbundled’ as individual tracks.
The band’s contract with EMI was last renegotiated in 1998-99, before digital sales took off, at a time when – in QC Robert Howe’s words – “It was unclear whether record companies would be selling direct to the consumer or through retailers”.
It’s the unbundling aspect that has irked the band most, seemingly. “It is a matter of fact that the defendant has been permitting individual tracks to be downloaded online and that therefore they have been allowing albums not to be sold in their original configuration,” said Howe, suggesting that this is against the terms of the band’s contract. A ruling is expected on Thursday.

9. News from Chr!s Sm!th
Hey gang,
Well the ECMAs have come and gone for another year. They hand out awards but take pieces of your liver in exchange.
I won Visual Artist of the Year! In previous years there were two awards for Photography and Graphic Design but they were combined into one award this time around. So technically I’ve won 100% of the Visual Artist awards that the ECMAs have handed out. At least that’s what I’ll be writing on my next grant application... it’s our little secret that there’s only been one so far.

My photo competition Battle SNAP is alive and well! The next one will be in Halifax on April 6th. It’s at the Seahorse as usual. If you want to enter, the details are on the site:

And for the hell of it, here’s the Ha!ifax ComedyFest site which I designed. I know I just sent out this link last week but I figured a reminder to grab tickets wouldn’t hurt! Come laugh at your problems...
everybody else does.

Cheers,
CHR!S

10. CBC Radio One's All the Best March 14, 2010
This week on All the Best we've got a little country; a little folk, and lots of heart and soul. It's all wrapped up into one fabulous singer songwriter: Pictou County's Dave Gunning. We caught up with him in concert at the New Glasgow Music Jubilee. And if that's not enough we'll also throw some bluegrass into the mix with Prince Edward Island's The Grass Mountain Hobos. Join host Carmen Klassen for All the Best, Sunday afternoon at 4 on CBC Radio One.
