OK, I'll grant you that some small, independent record labels are not evil to the heart of their soul like the big ones. And I can't keep up with the mergers, I don't know if today there are the big four, or the big five. But I do know that the handful of majors sell 98% or more of all physical CDs and well over 90% of all music on iTunes. I stand by my explicit generalization that the big labels (and the RIAA which cares only about the big labels) care only about money, music be damned.
