    What is it w/you? Stockholder? CEO? Isn't there some freaking
    middle ground between earning 1/2 of the multimillions which the
    artist is quite largely responsible for generating & earning less
    than what a UPS delivery person makes? You just hate artists?

    Anyway, that's exactly what Courtney-- and Prince, for that matter--
    are doing, & hopefully we'll see lots of other artists following
    suite. Then the weasels at the record company will have to change
    their ways. Well, that or just keep manufacturing utter shit (boy &
    girl bands, electronica tracks stolen tone-for-tone) to cram down our
    throats w/their stanglehold on conventional media.
