BACH TARGETS INTERNET COPYRIGHT

Former SKID ROW frontman SEBASTIAN BACH has hit out at fans who post his music on the internet without permission.
Bach has been in touch with officials at videosharing website YouTube.com in a bid to remove any fan-created content featuring his work.
And the rocker has defended his actions, insisting that the unauthorised use of his music online is damaging his career as an artist.
He writes on his official website, "I know you don't mean any harm in using my music for your videos, but we make our living by making music. No one has the right but us, the musicians, to upload our music to the Internet! If you upload our song to your site, why would someone go buy the CD?
"If I put a CD out or a DVD, and put my name on it, it makes me furious to see it all being given away for free and there is next to nothing I can do about it. No one has intentionally done anything wrong; it's just assumed these days if you make music then it should be free. This does NOT exactly make us all run skip and jump into the studio as quick as we can.
"I would suggest if you want music for your video game videos, learn how to play an instrument, write a song, record it, and use it in your video. Because I have to feed my children and pay my bills with mine."
