Glad you stepped in, Brenda. I believe you and agree with you and don't want to defend such practices. But haven't a a lot of these practices were being weeded out in the past 10-15 years due to litigation and investigations and crackdowns by law enforcement and regulatory agencies? Or maybe I am being too naive or hopeful and some companies are perhaps putting up a front that they are going to "reform" and then go right back to their old ways again? Also, often the bottom line is that it is almost impossible to dredge up all the old records (which are often long destroyed) or prohibitvely expensive to find and review them all, so a true accounting is in many cases not possible, especially for artists who want to review their accounts from 3o-40 years ago.
