EMI’s VP of urban promotions Craig Davis is being hailed by technology sites for coming out against the SOPA and PIPA legislation, in an interview conducted with Reddit. He was asked about the anti-piracy bills, and replied thus: “Personally, I feel that the method they’re using is incorrect. All it will do will cause headaches and issues for everyone. However, I do believe that a person should be compensated for their work. I feel that piracy is a big issue, and things like Spotify will assist in combating this problem.” Davis – answering in a personal capacity rather than on EMI’s behalf – continued: “It’s a service issue not an issue of money. Sales have gone up from sales concerts and merchandise, it’s obvious that our fans still love music. We’re just not giving them their music in an easier way.”
