Record labels: the other rapists
Record labels provide to artists recording, production, exposure, and distribution. But what are the ways the label takes advantage of the artist? What sort of leverage, if any, does the artist have who is aware of the label's game?
What is the bargaining position, or prognosis if you will, of an unsigned, unproven artist with potential commercial hits? What are the differences in operation of small and large record labels when dealing with them? Would it ever be better to sign with a smaller label given a choice?
