Radiohead, Robbie Williams, Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, The Verve and Kate Nash (pictured), are among those that have signed up to a new coalition body that will attempt to retain greater control over their musical wares.
It is almost a year since Radiohead defied convention by releasing their most recent and critically acclaimed album 'In Rainbows' online via their website and not through their former publisher EMI.
Many musicians are often never involved in online publishing deals and have little legal control over the royalties meanwhile performers often only hear about the deals after the fact.
