When it says "the government's music industry adviser" this is what it means:
"The UK music industry is to co-fund a new post at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to act as a link with the government in the struggle with music piracy.Stephen Navin, who was previously acting chief executive of the V2 Music Group, will advise the DCMS on a range of music industry issues - including copyright and the protection of intellectual property. " (From a news item on the BBC in September.

Not it would appear somebody likely to have any awareness whatsover of our type of musicmaking. And there is nobody on that working group who can be expected to be any better.

I couldn't find that leaflet on the Department's site. Partly because it really hurt my eyes looking at the site - I've rarely seen one as painful as that.

I found the Draft Guidance for Licencing Authorities, but it's over 100 pages loong and in a format that makes it very hard to read - a measure of teh Deoartment's contempt for the wider public.

I see the House of Lords Report Stage starts on 24th February, so I imagine this is crunch time. Lobbying Lords is a lot harder than lobbying MPs, but maybe it might be more likely to achieve something.
