analysis “The NBN could have disastrous results for the local [music] industry.” At least, that was the view of peak recording industry body the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) and local bodies, the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and Music Rights Australia, in a recent report.
But why would Australia’s National Broadband Network (NBN) be problematic? The Age, The Register and other media describe the claims of IFPI and ARIA as “bleating”.
