I find it hard to comprehend how outrageously large these sums are. They claim they're being devasted by piracy, yet they can still afford this. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist does it? “The package includes a general advance of $17.5 million and advance payments for three albums of $50 million to $60 million, according to people briefed on the deal.”

Never before have so many top name artists dropped their contracts with the big 4 to go out on their own with smaller labels. If more major artists do this....which the labels do not pay them very well anyway....the big 4 will be forced to change the way they see things. It took the dinosaurs a long time to die, but they eventually did....the big 4 are no different. They have tried to hang on to a business model that is outdated and sue it's own customers into submission....but all it has done is create a public backlash. I think the artists are catching on.
