Dear Kate, Thanks so much for forwarding this article. I am learning more and more. So now, even though the RAC's cause is a good one, it will only benefit 2% of the artist population. Their desire to make the record labels comply with California's law to limit contracts to seven years will seem to only benefit those already signed to long term contracts. In the article, Brian is very upfront and direct about not seeing where the RAC's agenda benefits anyone but the major recording artists though Don Henley tries to state that they have the smaller and independent artist interests at heart. Hmmm...I think that the RAC has their heart in the right place, but need to broaden their agenda to encompass the independent artist as well.
Isn't it funny that the record labels refer to the members of the RAC as "spoiled discontents"? They also confirm that record sales are the worst that they have been in 10 years. I see that the battle lines are clearly drawn. I am eager to see what happens.
