Artists angered by copyright plan 11 July 2012Last updated at 12:10 ET Radiohead's Ed O'Brien (L) says the planned copyright law does not go far enough Members of Radiohead and Pink Floyd are among the musicians angered by plans for a new EU copyright law. They say the draft law, intended to give performers, composers and producers more rights over their royalties, does not go far enough. Artists including Pink Floyd's Nick Mason have signed a letter accusing the European Commission of "breaking promises" to tackle missing pay. The Commission insists the plans will modernise the way money is distributed. Performers, producers and writers are supposed to earn royalties every time their music is played on radio, television or public spaces. The money is collected by about 250 societies around Europe - but the Commission says many of them hold on to "substantial amounts" of that cash. Figures from the Commission showed that, in 2010, Europe's major societies owed 3.6 billion euros (£2.8bn). 'Embezzlement'

Twitter pictures put in spotlight following London helicopter crash | Media The fatal helicopter crash in London on Wednesday morning once again put Twitter in the spotlight, with the social network beating traditional media to the story with instant eyewitness accounts, pictures and video. That BBC Radio 4 Today programme referred to Twitter as the news was breaking showed just how much social media has transformed the way mainstream news organisations cover breaking stories in recent years. By the afternoon, the London Evening Standard was splashing with a photo taken by Craig Jenner, @craiglet showing the rush-hour accident, capturing the blazing debris strewn across a street and a convoy of emergency service vehicles on their way to the scene. The speed with which the media used eyewitness photos posted on Twitter is not surprising given the nature of the story, but it raises an issue about copyright. In the past, such material was called user-generated content, or citizen journalism. Twitter's terms of service do not change this.
