I’m with you Victor. What mystifies me is that despite the control being in the hands of labels (as it could only be), musicians still believe that copyright gives the musician control, and thus without the power of the label, those independent musicians are looking forward to getting that other 99% of control/revenue that the label had the power to assert/collect.

I’ve been discussing this and related issues on a2f2a.com – a new site representing a rapprochement between artists and their file-sharing fans to argue and arrive at non-label based prospects for artists in the digital age, vis a vis control and revenue.
