found drama

Sound vaguely familiar? Personally, I support the suit — the indy labels need themselves a fighting chance against the Arista-Sony-Columbia-etc.’s of the world. But they exist … so, it’s not really a monopoly. At least not in the fun, early-20th century version of the word. (Besides, if the indy labels became big ones, they wouldn’t have that same charm would they? And the emo boys and girls would just seek out smaller, grittier labels releasing their music as those chips that make greeting cards sing… That’s how it would play out anyway right?) But for what it’s worth, it’s an excellent political statement.
