I took this as a joke anyway!
However, on a serious note, it does annoy me that the recording industry is always complaining about being ripped off. Fair enough, if people are copying their friends' records and cd's, then they are actually depriving the industry of legitimate profit. But how many times has the industry deliberately done something like take advantage of an up-and-coming band, and tied them to a lifetime contract, and all its attendant complications, because the band were too inexperienced to know any better?
Hence the proliferation of independent labels to enable bands to flourish without contractual shackles. Industry heal thyself!
