Which people in the music industry support Brexit?
Virtually everybody I can think of in the music industry has either given no opinion or supported the remain campaign (which lost). Remain supporters that I'm aware of include Richard Branson (Virgin founder), Polydor Records, former Marillion singer Fish, Florence, Jarvis Cocker, Johnny Marr, Posh Spice and many more.
I'm tempted to say that Morrissey might be a leave supporter, given that he claimed that he had "admirations for Farage". Are there any that you can name who support Britain's leave decision?

Because the EU actually has a very restrictive, dictate-based lawbook, Brussels had copyright-law so vague, and broad, that companies could get sued for having a 'similar feel' to music, which is subjective-law(and that's never good from a legal perspective).
In-theory, listening to music in a store, or seeing an ad in the city, could get you fined for listening without paying legal-rights for the music.
Now that will never be prosecuted, but under this law, it was an option, we are all criminals according to Brussels copyright-law, simply for being.
So it was quite the death-2-creativity, and also it makes music into a business, and people don't go to festivals, or concerts of a business, they only go to have fun.
