Paul McGuinness is the main shareholder and founder of Principle Management Limited: an artist management company based in Dublin, Ireland, which has managed U2 from the start of their successful career. He is the manager of U2, PJ Harvey and The Rapture.
Born in June 1951 in Rinteln near Hanover, Germany, in a British Army hospital, his father being placed with the RAF there. Paul then was sent to boarding school in Ireland in 1961: the Clongowes Wood College, run by the Jesuits. He then went on to Trinity College in Dublin where he directed plays and edited the magazine T.C.D. Miscellany.
His career has been spent working in the entertainment industry and he is well known throughout the world in both the film and music business.
He was a founding partner of TV3 in Ireland and is a director of Ardmore Studios. He is also a member of the Phantom FM consortium that in November 2004 secured a broadcasting licence for alternative rock music radio station in the Dublin area.
He has previously been a member of the Arts Council of Ireland, serving on three successive Arts Councils, from 1989 until 2000.
On January 28, 2008, in a speech at the Midem music industry convention in Cannes, McGuinness called on governments to compel ISPs to introduce mandatory "three strike" service disconnections to end unauthorized downloading, and specifically accused companies such as Apple, Google, Yahoo!, Oracle, and Facebook of building "multi billion dollar industries on the back of our content without paying for it", and of being "makers of burglary kits" who have made "a thieves' charter" to steal money from the music industry.[1]
