Of course I'm in the strange position of being both artiste and label during my career Pat; yes, there is little public support for labels but they deserve more; they contributed an enormous amount to the breaking, finding and developing of artistes.
They also contributed an enormous amount to their profits and expense accounts.
The bottom line is they got away with running a monopoly.Add to that the way parents were fleeced for thousands after young children went on file share sites. |

Yes clearly one of the problems is that people WOULD buy more and more were it not for the online ability to steal easily, whether it be through streaming like Spotify (miniscule royalty payments) or pure robbery illegal downloading or - what sadly I and many others do - free listening on demand through You Tube (the best SEARCH facility).
While agreeing with the stealing bit,do you not think the greed of record companies in creating monopolies in previous times left them with little public support? |
