	Record industry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the early years of the phonograph in the late 19th century, the music industry was dominated by the publishers of sheet music.
		The Recording Artists' Coalition exists to represent the interests of members of the music industry, in their fight against what they see as inequitable treatment by the record industry.
		Critics of the record industry have compared it to the buggy whip industry, fighting the disruptive technology of file sharing by all possible means.

		Last Tuesday's announcement by the Irish Recorded Music Association (Irma) that it was taking legal action in Ireland against 17 people for alleged illegal music sharing over the internet, was the result of work carried out by a US spy firm hired by Irma earlier this year.
		While three-year retention of phone call records in this country was quietly sneaked into a bill on terrorism last month, the retention of other telecommunications traffic data (email, web usage etc) is on its way via a EU Framework Directive still in the making.
		In response to such trenchant lobbying, the network operators organisation said it was "concerned by the constant pressure to overturn the provisions of the E-Commerce Directive on ISP liability in order to create a situation where intermediaries are liable for illegal content transmitted across their networks".

		The Irish Recorded Music Association (Irma), which is a trade group representing firms such as Universal and EMI, said this week it wants to sue 17 individuals it accuses of illegally sharing music over the internet.
		Irma will now have to seek injunctions from the High Court to compel the service providers to supply the information they need to prosecute.
		It is then up to the music companies to show in court that they have sufficient evidence that particular individuals have been illegally distributing music files," said solicitor Paul Lambert.

		However, it is clear that Irma’s assault on illegal “uploaders” of music has focused minds among the tens of thousands of people using file-sharing networks to swap music tracks.
		People found guilty of downloading music illegally can be fined €1,900 for each track or face up to six months in jail and, judging by the bullish messages on www.boards.ie, people connecting to file-sharing networks are likely to have hundreds, if not thousands, of songs on their PCs.
		What Irma is really seeking through its legal campaign is a couple of high-profile cases to scare the wits out of illegal files sharers and their parents.

		Almost half those targeted in an Irish crackdown on people accused of illegally sharing copyrighted music tracks on the internet have agreed to settle out of court, a music industry spokesman says.
		After Ireland's High Court compelled internet service providers to provide the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA) with the names of those involved in illegal music sharing on the internet, the Association threatened to begin legal proceedings against 17 people they accused of being "serial offenders".

		He noted an undertaking by the record companies that the information would be used only for the purpose of seeking redress for alleged infringement of the copyright of sound recordings and granted the orders on that basis.
		The orders were sought by EMI Records Ireland Ltd, Sony BMG Music Ireland Ltd, Universal Music Ireland Ltd, and Warner Music Ireland Ltd, all members of the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA), who between them claim to supply 78 per cent of the pop music CDs sold to Irish consumers.
		Willie Kavanagh, managing director of EMI records, said that the Irish market for sound recordings had suffered a decline in total sales from 146 million in 2001 to 118 million in 2004 and he believed a very substantial portion of that decline was due to the increasing availabilty of broadband access here.

		IRMA say that file sharing is “effectively stealing the livelihood of the creators of music”.
		With the advent of accessible downloadable music on the internet, it certainly may be the case that there are some people who have made a conscious decision to stop paying for music altogether.
		In Ireland, the campaign is being led by the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA), which says the practice usually breaks copyright law, is responsible for a drop in record sales of 19 per cent, and is “effectively stealing the livelihood of the creators of music".

		The Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA) said that eight of the 17 people it has accused of being among Ireland's worst offenders when it comes to music uploading have agreed to settle out of court with the organisation.
		Dick Doyle, director of IRMA, said that many of the remaining nine alleged file-sharers who have not yet admitted liability have claimed that file-sharing was undertaken by someone else in their home.
		The 17 people involved in the current legal action were written to by IRMA in late July after the organisation and its backers -- which include the big music labels -- succeeded in forcing internet service providers to give up the names of file-sharers.

		With claims uncontested and not put to the test, the music industry may have reached a fine result, but it provides little more clarity on the current legal standing of file-sharing issues.
