Management of the labels are agents of the shareholders. Their interests should be aligned with those of the shareholders but they are not. This is because the best interest of the shareholders is served by breaking up the labels. Consolidation has gone as far as possible and the old model is broken. The new model doesn't need a big 5. It needs legal download services to be encouraged not stymied. This will reward the owners of catalogs, consumers, artists and those that develop them. It does not favour plastic pushers and those 5 with the critical mass to push plastic. If focus was to be put on the fact that managers are not serving shareholders, then shareholders might act. This is what we should be doing. Its the Achilles heel of the industry and it's time to play the card. In fact its very simple. There is an agency issue.
