U2 manager Paul McGuinness recently raised a lot of music industry eyebrows with a speech in which he pushed for greater regulation on access providers.  McGuinness, speaking in Cannes, pointed the finger at tech manufactureres and ISP’s when he said, “Network operators, in particular, have for too long had a free ride on music — on our clients’ content………..It’s time for a new approach — time for ISPs to start taking responsibility for the content they’ve profited from for years.”

The speech full speech is here.

Emerson Drive 2008

Emerson Drive has been nominated for #1 Digitally Active Duo/Group on the CMT Video Music Awards.  The nominees and ultimate winner are determined by calculating the number of digital streams the act had over the last year. 

The numbers:   3.8 million total streams and over 2.3 million total profile views on Myspace!

E Drive is also up for a prestigious Grammy Award for Best Country Performance By A Group or Duo with Vocals for their 1 hit “Moments”.

Emerson Drive is starting 2008 in a big way.  The new single is closing in on Top 20, testing Top 10, they are nominated for a Grammy, and have just concluded a 10 city tour with Big & Rich.  And that’s just a glimpse of amazing things to come for a band that has established themselves as one of the best in the country format.

The guys have launched a video blog from their travels on the road.  Keep up with them here.
