The Bee Gees' Robin Gibb and other European music composers warned Thursday that standardizing music royalties across Europe could hurt musicians and the songs they write.The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, is close to finishing an antitrust investigation into how royalties are collected. The outcome might help large music retailers like Apple Inc.'s iTunes sell from one store across Europe, rather than different stores with different products in each of the 27 EU nations.Gibb and three other composer-songwriters, representing the European Composer and Songwriter Alliance, or ECSA, warned that drastic changes to Europe's current online music market could reduce the royalties that musicians, particularly lesser-known ones with fewer sales, depend on to keep writing songs.ECSA said that if major online services can negotiate lower, region-wide fees, artists could get less for their songs despite seeing them distributed more widely.
