TOOLROOM KNIGHTS NEEDS YOU!!
30/04/2009
A marathon seven hour set courtesy of Mark Knight is the order of May’s (23\5\09) Toolroom Knights at Ministry Of Sound, as the powerhouse behind our label takes over the Box all night long to celebrate the launch of his Toolroom Knights 2.0 mix album and entertain us on this bank holiday weekend. Fully loaded with edits, exclusives and an array of dj tools, expect a musical journey that’ll satisfy the needs of all, spanning the full spectrum of house from deep to driving, tribal to techno.
After the launch party at Ministry, Mark will continue on a whirlwind non stop worldwide tour for 6 months taking in all five continents of the world.
TOOLROOM KNIGHTS NEEDS YOU!!
We at Toolroom are on the lookout for some very special ‘Toolroom Knights’ who would be interested in helping the label promote Mark’s album worldwide. As Mark tours the different countries, we are looking for foot soldiers to join our team and spread the word in their own language about the release, by posting the relative album tour info to their local networks/forums and supporting the Toolroom cause. It would be very helpful if you were to have a good understanding of English as well.
Territories we are looking to recruit in are Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan & Korea, but also if you live in a different country and think you have what it takes to do the job properly please do get in touch.
WHAT’S ON OFFER!!
What is in it for you i here you say??
Once Toolroom get our global networking team together to promote the album tour, everyone will receive Toolroom goodies but most importantly the people who perform above & beyond the call of duty we would like to work with again for future releases.
Depending on your preference, goodie’s available to the people that do well could include a year’s free subscription to the Toolroom mailing list (Potentially this could be up to 30 Toolroom releases featuring some of the biggest artists on the global), free entry for you and your friends to any Toolroom Knights events, free Toolroom Knights compilation cd’s & wallets.
ON A SERIOUS NOTE!!
Only serious applicant’s need apply as you will have to compile a brief report of the work you have done to promote the release and send it back to our promotions manager at the label, so that we know all bases have been covered.
If you have been involved in this kind of work before, we would be grateful if you could submit examples of this when applying!!

Aktuelles zu Youtube
Autoren fürchten weitere Zwangsmaßnahmen
Weitere Rückendeckung für die GEMA im Lizenzstreit mit den YouTube-Betreibern: Als "zynische PR-Maßnahme", die offensichtlich dazu dienen solle, Onlinenutzer gegen Künstler aufzuwiegeln, kritisieren die in der European Composer And Songwriter Alliance (ECSA) und des CISAC-Autorengremiums CIAM organisierten Kreativen rund um CISAC-Präsident Robin Gibb und ECSA-Sprecher David Ferguson den Vorstoß der Videoplattform, Clips zunächst für britische und inzwischen auch deutsche Nutzer zu sperren.
Bei den Mitgliedern der beiden Autorenvereinigungen wachse ob des "abrupten und ungerechtfertigten Vorgehens" die Sorge, dass die Google-Konzernmutter mit dieser Drohkulisse eine taktische Blaupause für anstehende Verhandlungen ihrer Videotochter YouTube mit weiteren europäischen Verwertungsgesellschaften aufgebaut habe. "Google hat schon jetzt klargemacht, dass ihnen die Musik, der YouTube einen großen Teil seiner Popularität verdankt, nichts wert ist." Auch mit der gezielten Verbreitung von Fehlinformationen über die tatsächlichen Forderungen der Komponisten und Autoren nach einer angemessenen Vergütung hätten die Google-Macher ihre Verachtung gegenüber allen Kreativen und deren künstlerischer Leistung erneut unterstrichen.
"Google ist offensichtlich weder bereit, einen fairen Preis für die genutzte Musik zu zahlen, noch die musikalische Nutzung vollständig und transparent aufzuschlüsseln, dennoch scheint uns nur schwer vorstellbar, wie denn ihr Geschäftsmodell ohne Musik funktionieren soll", heißt es abschließend in einem gemeinsamen Statement von ECSA und CIAM.

Indies werfen YouTube "gezielte Fehlinformationen" vor
Nun meldet sich auch der VUT als Verband der unabhängigen Musikunternehmen Deutschlands im Lizenzstreit zwischen der GEMA und YouTube zu Wort. Die Indies werfen den Betreibern des Videoportals vor, sie missbrauchten ihre marktbeherrschende Stellung, und fordern einen "vernünftigen Vorschlag" zur Vergütung.
"Wie schon vor einigen Wochen in England hat YouTube, eine Tochter des Google-Konzerns, die laufenden Verhandlungen bezüglich einer angemessenen Vergütung für Autoren abgebrochen, um stattdessen mit gezielten Fehlinformationen und unvollständigen Sperrungen von Musikinhalten auf dem Rücken der Nutzer Stimmung gegen die GEMA zu machen", heißt es aus der Berliner VUT-Zentrale. YouTube verkaufe "Werbung auf Grundlage millionenfacher Nutzungen" von Inhalten, "eine Beteiligung für die Autoren der Inhalte ist in diesem Geschäftsmodell sowohl gesetzlich vorgeschrieben als auch angemessen und fair". Allerdings müsse über die Höhe der Vergütung verhandelt werden.
"Wie auch schon in England weigert sich YouTube aber grundsätzlich, sowohl über eine - egal wie niedrige - Vergütung pro Stream zu verhandeln als auch die für eine Abrechnung an Autoren benötigten Nutzungsdaten zur Verfügung zu stellen", klagt die Verbandsspitze und konstatiert: "Das willkürliche Zurückhalten der Nutzungsdaten schädigt vor allem Nachwuchskünstler und Künstler mit kleinen Einkommen, die bei Verrechnungen von Pauschalen immer benachteiligt sind."
Der VUT weiter: "Nur die PR-Strategen des Google-Konzerns können nachvollziehen, warum ein Cent pro Stream einem Preis von 500 Euro für eine CD entspricht wie ein YouTube-Manager vor laufenden Fernsehkameras behauptet." Die Realität sehe anders aus: "Bisher hat kein Autor in Deutschland einen Cent für die Milliarden Nutzungen von Musik auf YouTube erhalten", heißt es aus Berlin. "In England wurden erste Zahlungen vorgenommen. Hier berichtet der Songschreiber Mark Kelly, der für die Band Marillion schreibt, dass er insgesamt 0,6 Pence für mehr als zehn Millionen Nutzungen erhalten hat."
Für den VUT stellt die "Sperrung einer willkürlichen Auswahl von Musikvideos und die gezielte Verbreitung von Fehlinformationen an Medien" eine "unakzeptable Verhandlungstaktik für einen marktbeherrschenden Konzern im Umgang mit Künstlern und ihren Vertretern" dar. Man fordere die YouTube-Macher deshalb auf, "mit einem vernünftigen Vorschlag zur minimalen Vergütung eines Streams, auf dem ihre Werbeeinnahmen basieren, an den Verhandlungstisch zurückzukehren".
