Presented by Graham Stewart.

In a week when an alliance of music stars, songwriters and record producers spoke out against the UK government's proposals to kick file-sharers off the internet, a panel of guests discuss how the music industry can adapt to the online world — and make money.

Rick Falkvinge, chairman of Sweden's Pirate Party — which got its first MEP elected this year — tells us why he thinks file-sharing is a civil right. Fellow Swede, the songwriter, musican and Guardian blogger, Helienne Lindvall, takes him on.

We look at alternative business models which could monetise online music. Scots-based US musician Indiana Gregg and her music producer husband, Ian Morrow, tells us about their advertising-funded download site, Kerchoonz.com. And Pat Kane of Hue and Cry joins the discussion arguing that musicians now have to be entrepreneurs and digital creatives as well as writers and performers.
