Yes he was pushed. He wanted to stay and see his role expanded, but he was told he did not have a future at VNU.

What has happened since to Lander et al? I just heard that Lander is leaving VNU in October 2005. Was he pushed?

as an indie artist who had faced this sh..t stick for years it amazes me that only now its coming up again..and I am sure the record companies and oil/gas companies use the same “smoke and mirror” manual of ehtics whenever the public question their “integrity”…

F**k the record labels, they’re basically saying that you have to be rich to hear music. it costs a half a buck to make a cd and they turn around and charge 20 bucks for it. First the record labels ruined radio by paying the stations to play songs,so you have to hear the same songs over and over again. then they ruined rock,hip hop,county and just about all the genres exept for jazz and classical by making everything so commercialand now it’s just crap. So how dare they put out crappy sh*t and want people to pay for it, kiss my ass label bit*hes.

This story rocks. It definitely shines a spotlight on the editorial integrity issue, which is major, given the downturn in magazine publishing.

Generation D
(The We Be Jamin Band )

Generation D

Im a downloading fool
And theres nothing you can do.
Bring your army of lawyers
And see if you can sue
To the RIAA
Go ahead and sue away
Dont be in shock
When you cant get blood from a rock

Were generation D
Downloading away for free
Its a dose of reality
Armed with modern technology
Generation D (x2)

Its a computer revolution
Cant you see
The Internet is our weapon
Against your greed
Why should I buy your
over priced CD.
With only one good song on
Dont tell me that Im wrong

Were generation D
Downloading away for free
Its a dose of reality
Armed with modern technology
Generation D

Your legal beagle
Says its illegal
Just like the guy
That mows your yard
Your record deals
Make an artist squeal
You stick it to them
Stiff and hard
Your loosing money
Hey is that my fault
Now you want to bring my
Downloading to a halt
You couldnt stop cassette tapes
in the 70s
what makes you think
you can stop
generation D
downloading for free
some say illegally
Generation D

Dont mind an artist
Trying to make a buck.
But record companies suing kids
Can go get f**ked
Does it make you feel big
To sue a 12-year-old kid
I hope your mamas proud
of what you did

Were generation D
Downloading away for free
Its a dose of reality
Armed with modern technology
Generation D

Don’t know why I’m posting this here, by the File sharer’s theme song should be Jamiroquai’s ‘Deeper Underground’:

Some people with a pocket full of money
And an eye full of hate
Take a pleasure in destruction
Of the very thing that they tried to create
Somebody tell me why does all
Mankind only tamper and touch?
Have a habit where they-bite off
More they can chew
And now it’s too much

I’m going deeper underground
There’s too much panic in this town
I’m going, I’m going, I’m going
Deeper underground
I’m going, I’m going, I’m going
Deeper underground

The only time we talk to the people in advertising is when we have to. ditto them for us. They are on another planet but they hold the reins.
