“ Heads have been exploding in New York and L.A. for two weeks now. Even the mainstream media has caught on. What the HELL happened to the record business? Radiohead and Madonna just jumped ship, and the Eagles said they were going EARLIER in the year. Where IS the answer from the major labels? Any other industry would fight back. Make an announcement of transparent accounting, new splits. But all we get is Universal complaining that Apple takes too much of THEIR money. There’s NO money without the acts. Why not a better split for the acts? Why not a return of COPYRIGHTS to the acts? You write a book, you own it. Write a hit record and you pay for it and the label STILL OWNS IT!
