I think the more important question is whether or not the record Labels created this problem them selves.
They created a business model that they them selves admit was a poor one and did not afford them to make a just profit
They had to resort to questionable business practices, denigration of artist, manipulation of lawmakers, not allowing the public to here a real variety of music and on and on.
Maybe now the artist and public can both get what they want and not have to be at the mercy of the record Label.
The same way we who want a 76 key Yamaha arranger are at the mercy of Yamaha.
Both Yamaha and the record label are saying the same thing they are doing the market research and they don�t see the need for what the public really wants.
