: : Is it killing the leaches that have held artists under thumb forever and treated them like whores? Yep, and I am glad.

-Right. It also includes people getting paid reasonable sums to do something that USED to be the best way to do something.
: Also, if you know any artists who could afford a seven figure sum on recording and production before people even get the chance to hear them, I'd like to know who they are.
-I don't get what you are getting at here. Are you saying that musicans NEED a seven figure costing recording studio to make music? No way. The white stripes latest album cost like $11,000 to make. And, that should point out how overpriced these studios that are "required" by the labels actually are. Those studios are just another arm of the same monster.
