SongBird 1.0

Artists, musicians and songwriters who care about how their music is used on the Internet can now make use of a new anti-piracy Internet software called Songbird. Songbird is endorsed by IFPI and has attracted support from several organisations representing artists and musicians at international level and in the UK. They include: AURA, BIEM, CISAC, FIM, ICMP-CIEM, MMF, MU, PAMRA and PPL (see songbird supporters).Songbird helps music copyright owners - including artists, songwriters, publishers, producers and record companies - find out how their music copyrights are being infringed in the online world. It will be particularly useful for artists and independent record companies who are not part of the Napster litigation in the United States, putting them in a better position to identify unauthorised files on the Napster network.
