THE ITC P2P PANEL

It’s very simple: this is the central issue facing the music and wider creative industries, debated by the people at the centre of it all. Both sides of a complex, controversial subject put forward to enable us all to understand what’s going on that little bit better. Knowledge is power, so let’s all learn a little shall we? We will hear the arguments against illegal downloading from Jon Webster of the MMF, followed by the views of Rick Falkvinge of the Swedish Pirate Party.
