Today, @aepoartis, @Creators_ECSA and @fim_musicians collectively denounce @epidemicsound's malpractices and its profound disrespect for the rights of music authors and performers ✏️👉bit.ly/2Hqtpmr
"We collectively represent over 500 000 composers, songwriters and performers and we feel compelled to speak out against the harmful development of @epidemicsound for the ability of these professionals to make a living from their creations".
In a context where our members’ activities are under existential threat because of #Covid_19 , "the expansion of Epidemic Sound represents yet another threat to the fair remuneration of authors and performers in the music sector and their ability to develop sustainable careers"
"We call on any public or private company to refrain from collaborating with an entity that disrespects authors and performers and their basic economic and moral rights". @3l3ctr0nLibr3 @CMU @IMC_Network @legrandnetwork @EMC_IMC @Adobe @EBU_HQ
And "we urge all authors and performers in the music sector to carefully consider all the potential consequences of buy-out agreements, whereby all their exclusive rights are transferred in perpetuity against no future revenue". @WeAreTheMU @unimei @FIA_actors @Film_directors

Today, the @Europarl_EN adopted by an ovewhelming majority a resolution on EU coordinated action to combat #Covid_19 and its consequences. It shows the EP's strong support to the cultural and creative sectors (CCS) @EPCulture @sabineverheyen @nnienass @Ibangarciadb 👇
It “underlines that the CCS in Member States have been hit especially hard by the fallout from #Covid_19 due to the closure of cinemas, theatres and music venues and the sudden stop of ticket sales;" @LiveDMA @Liveurope @UNIC_Cinemas @Efads_Asso @IMPALAMusic @EMC_IMC 👇 Image
"highlights the fact that, as these sectors have high numbers of freelance and self-employed workers, many of whom were struggling well before the outbreak, the effects are particularly dire for creative professionals .. @salima_yenbou @AlexisMep @Film_directors
