This. Soundcloud is conventionally a service for those at the "grassroots" level of music, whereas Spotify is more geared towards the relatively mainstream.

I don't really understand their point. Surely artists decide to put their music on soundcloud or not, and choose whether or not it's for public consumption, and whether or not people can download it.


So what are PRS suggesting that Soundcloud should be doing differently?

Was directed at the 'soundcloud is for grass roots artists' comment.


Huge in terms of record sales.


Not my cup of tea, but clearly plenty of people's.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
