The Money Programme: The Online Music Revolution and Parking Mad - XB006/DVD01
Two episodes from the popular BBC2 programme.The Online Music Revolution
Essentially it’s about the ways in which the big record companies have been put on the back foot by an increasingly technology-driven industry. Bands like Nislopi, and Simply Red have used the web to promote themselves and sell their own music without needing the support of the big record companies. Bands like the Arctic Monkeys started out as an internet phenomenon, and MySpace has now become an essential marketing tool for any aspiring young musician. The big companies were slow to get off the ground when the downloading revolution began, and even though the are starting to catch up on that one, no sooner do they plug another hole than something else springs up that threatens to undermine them once again.

Private companies are making millions from running parking regimes for councils - but is it right to make money out of enforcing the law?
