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.

One major reason why they still exist at all is that they regularly and successfully lobby to change the law regarding the duration of copyright protection.
Originally in the US the author had to apply for an extension 28 years after first publication but then corporations took over and ended up owning the copyright rather than the authors/artists.
By now copyright protection extends to 'authors life plus 70 years' thanks to relentless lobbying and Sonny Bono.

nowadays those MBA types are a dime a dozen, MBA types are graduating with 100's of thousands of dollars in debt, they serve me my coffee in the morning.
I've seen those snakes and what they do to businesses, essentially running it into the ground, get off with great payouts and green parachutes and the remains are left for private equity firms or BDCs to sell off whatever meat was left on the bone and write off the rest.
Around here we have law school grads/second round BAR exam failures doing that.
The MBA's clean up after the baristas finish for the day.
Most EVERYONE is graduating with serious debt handicaps: it's a tough world out there for
those that bought into the BS thinking it would be a smooooth ride.
The Bureaucratic System continues to fail (too) many from the get go.

part of it was the helicopter parents telling their children how special and smart they are. part of it was the out of touch professors preaching how they'll be the leaders of the free world. no reality at all is taught today in College and Universities.
I am just shy of 40 years old, my parents let me know I was a maggot. Unlike these millenials who think they'll get VP positions as soon as they graduate.
