DAMON ALBARN and TONY ALLEN on music censorship

At the recent Roskilde Festival, Damon Albarn, Tony Allen and Ty took part in the Freemuse press conference on freedom of musical expression.
Video excerpts from the conference and full press release at www.freemuse.org

'True censorship is something that we are not really aware of on a day-to-day basis; it is inherent in the system. There is an ever increasing element of that censorship, a sort of covert censorship going on everywhere. The fact that music is so closely related to economics now means that people do the censorship themselves.'
Damon Albarn, Blur
