I discovered that Roger Wallis (tomorrows guest lecturer) was featured in SR P1 Morgon, Swedish Radio channel one’s morning show, last Wednesday. He gave his comment regarding the new EU bill proposal to extend music copyright from 50 to 70 years. This bill is quite controversial and has recently been heavily debated. Wallis himself doesn’t support this proposal at all, and he says, among other things, that this is just another way for the music industry to get extra money to pay their lawyers to sue 15-year olds who download music, in order to get even more money.
Available here: http://sverigesradio.se/topsy/ljudfil/3448776.mp3 (Starts at 39:56). Unfortunately the show is in Swedish only.
Also, a fun fact about Roger Wallis is that he wrote the Swedish contribution for the 1969 Eurovision song contest, “Judy, min vän”.
I hope this post works as an extra intro for tomorrows guest lecture instead of spoiling it..
