> A MUSIC industry executive has been criticised for joking that music  
> pirates should receive the death penalty during a speech.
> The bizarre comment was made by Phonographic Performance Limited  
> (PPL) boss Fran Nevrkla in front of hundreds of people in London  
> last week.
>
> While praising the anti-piracy director of another group, he said:  
> "Thank you David, and thank you for putting some of those pirates  
> behind bars.
>
> "I know that, regrettably, capital punishment was abolished in this  
> country some 50 years ago, sad it is, but a few years in jail  
> probably is pretty OK."
>
> Mr Nevrkla kept a relatively straight face throughout the sentence  
> while his audience laughed.
