Billboard.biz:
U.K. songwriters and composers have launched a new Web site to highlight concerns over the use of their work on the Internet. The site, fairplayforcreators.com, went live March 25 and has the backing of Abba’s Bjorn Ulvaeus and Robbie Williams songwriter Guy Chambers, among others. The move is in response to the March 9 decision by Google to block access to premium music videos for U.K. users of YouTube, following a failure to agree new terms on a licensing agreement with collecting society PRS For Music.
