doing this stunt for (at least) the past 40 years:They can't even eat their own tails in a simple manner; they need to make it complicated.
When the really big money started flowing and the MBA suits took over the POPULAR music
industry became just that. Previously there was a little more interest and business acumen
regarding actual music and musicians because people that actually cared about that were involved.
They still are on a level that most music executives have no interest in.They major music industry deserves what it gets.
There have always been musicians and musicians will find a way to create their music and survive.
Some will even prosper and thrive.
The old industry paradigm has been doomed for a long time.
The businessmen behind it won't be as successful as they were previously until
they smarten up.If history is any indication that won't be happening any time soon.
