NEW IDEAS FOR MUSIC INDEPENDENTS…

IMPALA celebrated its 10th birthday at Berlin Music week in September 2010, and highlighted levelling the playing field and reversing the current market share trend as key objectives for the next ten years. Helen Smith, Executive Chair of IMPALA said "The week has been a great opportunity to look at what we have learned over ten years and focus on how to get a better deal moving forward - for collective licensing, for online music services, for mechanical licensing, for talent development and for anti-piracy settlements such as Kazaa." Billboard Global Editor Mark Sutherland tested IMPALA's plan to develop sports style mechanisms to promote talent development through transfer fees and sharing 5% to 10% of collecting society revenues according to new releases rather than market share. IMPALA also celebrated a big independent success in Germany with the presentation of an IMPALA award to Berlin based label Superstar for their summer hit by Yolanda Be Cool & DCup's "We No Speak Americano".
