Here's Fran Nevrkla, Chairman and CEO of Phonographic Performance Ltd, a UK music industry association, addressing the group's AGM. Some choice morsels:

Thank you, David, and thank you for putting some of those pirates behind bars. I know that

regrettably capital punishment was abolished in this country some 50 years ago, sad it is, but

a few years in jail is probably pretty OK…

To the industry I would say, we would be well advised to delete two or three words from our

vocabulary entirely and they are 'promotion' and 'promotional value'. There is no such thing

in the 21st Century. There is usage, there are benefits, hopefully often, if not always to both

sides but there is no favour in it and no indulgence and no promotion.
