Did you know that unless artists sell X records they actually OWE the record label money?

Do you realize how much record labels spend in order to help launch the artist?

Would you even know what bands to like if it wasn't for the record labels promoting these bands?

Tours ONLY happen because record labels are able to assist bands in their promotion.

Get rid of the record industry..and you get rid of bands.

The quality of music has gotten incredibly poor the past few years...that's because record labels can't afford to take chances on anything that won't sell. Profits and sales are declining at a rapid pace.

bah...open thievery makes me sick...it's like a bank robbery in broad daylight

Yes I did?

A lot of money. That doesn't mean the record label deserves 3 million and the artist gets $30.

I don't listen to bands that are with major record labels. Indie labels treat their artists a hell of a lot better.

What about unsinged bands that tour?

Get rid of the record industry and you get rid of the junk bands that should have never made it mainsteam. The day record labels thought more about the money then they did the artist is the day music died.

They have enough money to take the chance to sign a band that may flop. Why risk money on a band that wont sell when they can sign a band and just throw money at it to make them popular?

Record companies making millions of hard working artists make me sick.
