The Guitar, a 1961 Gibson SG Les Paul Custom, had previously belonged to Les Paul's ex-wife Mary Ford. Shortly after an episode airing the $90k purchase from Mary Fords nephew on Pawn Stars, the Guitar appeared on eBay.

A surprising personal item of Les Paul was also included in the auction. According to the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop (Pawn Stars) eBay listing, a Letter included with the Guitar states; "Les is told Not to sign a contract with Gibson." This advice could have dramatically altered the fortunes of both Paul and Gibson, if it had been followed.

SOPA is a controversial piece of legislation from the US House of Representatives that stands for 'Stop Online Piracy Act' but is claimed to have the potential for significant abuse by corporations and the government, and could possibly uproot the foundations of the internet. Although the act was recently shelved due to widespread opposition, a sister bill called PIPA, or the Protect-IP Act, remains active in the US Senate.

Shadowville, the internet's most visited beat website for original instrumentals in hip hop, pop, dance, and R&B genres, stated on their Facebook page that they intend to "educate [its] users about SOPA's detrimental effects, and to encourage users to also protest against SOPA". Response has been fairly supportive by its users as they seem to agree with the effects that PIPA/SOPA may cause.

Billy Li, founder and CEO of Shadowville, also commented, "Lots of our production contain samples. But this is a creative technique that has existed since the origins of hip hop. With SOPA or PIPA, anyone would have an excuse to shutdown [Shadowville], even though we already comply with DMCA takedown requests and fully respect copyright law". He goes on to further claim that antagonists or competitors, in the similar fashion of patent trolls, would have the opportunity to shutdown any site and force that site to appeal in the court of law -- all in order to strategically bankrupt that site or company.

According to Shadowville's Anti-SOPA Initiative page, these acts would negatively impact the freedom in creativity of all artists and musicians. The website is encouraging users to contact their local representatives and to write to Congress to fight against PIPA and SOPA.

About Shadowville
Established June 2006, Shadowville.com is both a community driven music entertainment website and a place to downloads beats fore free as well as to buy licenses to beats. The website was born through Shadowville Productions, a music production team that provides original hip-hop instrumentals for artists or companies in need of beats. It currently is the most visited beat website on the internet.

Natalie commented 'Sir Paul is such a nice guy and totally down to earth, when I jammed with him he made me feel completely at ease.'  Later this year Natalie supports Joan Armatrading at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester UK; a prestigious gig for such a young songwriter.  'It's an absolute honour to support Joan; like Sir Paul McCartney she is a music legend,' said Natalie.

Natalie has recently released a double A side with Grammy Award winning producer Steve Levine's London label 'Hubris Records', consisting of tracks 'Fortune' and 'On Fire'.  Levine signed this young prodigy after her winning MIBI award show performance (Natalie being nominated by the leading lights of the UK music scene including Harvey Goldsmith CBE and Coldplay's Chris Martin).  It's a rare treat from the pop world to produce an artist whose music possesses such honesty and uniqueness.

Natalie has written and performed her own songs from a young age - songs embodied with resonant lyrical metaphor such as '....Oh! what use is silver?/what good comes of gold?/built myself a temple/trapped behind the walls'   As well as her music being described as 'dark, edgy and exciting to listen to' and 'simply unmistakable', she can count pop legend Boy George and BBC favourite Steven Fry as her supporters on Twitter.

She will support Joan Armatrading at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester UK, November 4th 2012. Also lined up in her UK tour schedule is a support slot for Sandi Thom in Liverpool on February 12th 2012.

John Senn, CEO of the Iowa Rock 'n Roll Music Association added, 'The Iowa Rock 'n Roll Music Association, from day one, has been a state-wide organization and we have long searched for that one piece to the puzzle that would allow us to more effectively share our mission and message to those across the State of Iowa. Bill Grady brings that quality to the organization. He is well connected to those in the music industry throughout the Midwest.  He has been successful throughout his career whether it be radio, sales, or marketing and he fully understands what the Iowa Rock 'n Roll Music Association is wanting to achieve and what it takes to help us get there.

'Considering the various languages that Gibraltar gaming companies market to, the demand for top quality creatives will not be diminishing anytime soon.'

Now, Jamie Sylvian, Founder of Copy writing business www.SociallyConnected.co.uk has come up with a fresh solution to helping Gibraltar online gaming businesses develop their writing teams to produce high quality marketing material

'Gaming companies on Gibraltar need better than average copy writers. It's a competitive industry, so the importance of great copy can't be overstated. But training 'in-house' isn't the answer to coming up with innovative marketing ideas. Learning entirely in-house means new writers are often only exposed to ideas that already exist. But giving them external influences and ideas will help them come up with blockbuster campaigns. That's why we are bringing our training to Gibraltar gaming companies,' head on-line gaming Copy Writer Jamie Sylvian explained.

Sylvian continued:'As well as being a professional copy writer, I've been on the front line of marketing for over 20 years. I have  taken businesses from an idea on the back of an envelope, to employing +500 staff. I have worked with Blue-chip companies Like British Gas in the UK, dozens of local authority campaigns and oversaw the set up of a number of online companies. These experiences put me in a great position to show young and up-coming online gaming copy writers in Gibraltar  the best way to craft campaigns that get results.'

SociallyConnected.co.uk aims to have a full time presence on Gibraltar in early 2012 to offer on-going training opportunities to the Gibraltar online gaming industry.

Companies interested in training their new writers are invited to enquire online at www.SociallyConnected.co.uk or by telephone to +44 (0)208 123 3811
