Music stars unite to seek control

Acts including Robbie Williams and Radiohead join a coalition called The Featured Artists' Coalition to try to gain ownership and control of their music from record labels. The BBC reports.

"It wants artists to keep the rights to the music they create and to have a greater say in how their songs are sold - and a bigger slice of the takings.

It is a sign of a shift in power in the music industry in the digital age."
