Wondering what peoples opinions are on this .. this could spell the end for amature music blogging in Ireland and others across the world who want to promote irish music..

Even the record companies who own the music are being asked to pay the royalty fee to provide downloads of music on their site. This is only one part of the problem - amature bloggers (like myself) who simply want to promote artists and have been provided with permission from the artists themselves will be asked to pay up to 300e or a lower fee of 150e a year to have the right to provide links to downloads or streams...

... this is going to kill any momentum in irish music online... What are they thinking!?

Fucking rediculous... now I just have to hope they dont find something wrong with my site..
