Nokia's Comes With Music was the focus of much debate with final forum of the day.
Jeremy Fabinyi from MCPS-PRS found himself defending the decision of the society to strike a deal including non-disclosure agreements with Nokia. Christian Wahlberg of Murlyn Music Group in Sweden seemed incensed that figures couldn't be passed on for him to explain to his songwriters. Sarah Stennet from Crown Music and SSB Solicitors sympathised with the alliance, but also said that it “sticks in the throat” if you're a songwriter. Better a deal struck by a collection society than no deal at all, argued Fabinyi.
Elsewhere, Chrysalis CEO Jeremy Lascelles thinks that “the long-term propsects of music publishing are secure”, but warned that the next few years will be easy for nobody, advising that the deal sizes should get smaller.
