8. Same as it ever was...
Edited on Sun Jan-30-05 01:21 PM by johnfunk
Reba's probably being nickeled-and-dimed out of royalties by her label using decades-old reptilian advance-and-recoup contract tactics. They take the money and dump it into legally and ethically questionable schemes to promote the music -- which serves to:
-- enrich the label itself rather than the artist
-- nurture a culture of corruption and dependency in the broadcast biz
-- disempower the artist

This fits with the history laid out in Frederic Dannen`s invaluable book Hit Men.
