That's the sort of talk that'll get you covered in spittle flecks if you broach it near any university philosophy department. Ethics are the subject of millennia old philosophical discourse, and are to be taken VERY SERIOUSLY.
For morals, you need Religious Studies... that's the building with the gargoyles across the quad.
Your obsession with something as unquantifiable as 'morals' makes it hard to take you seriously. Morals are societal behavioral paradigms tacitly agreed upon by the collective as a whole; they're not dictated by the supposedly aggrieved and righteously indignant.
You may be better off looking into ethic or value based arguments, which can at least have a logical explanation for their existence other than 'because'.
Honestly, you sound like a particularly petulant evangelical preacher sometimes.
The preponderance of well received cheap-as-dirt to produce reality shows currently flooding the market would indicate that you don't actually know what you're talking about.
It's a real shame there isn't a near infinite number of TV stations clamouring for programming content that producers could syndicate their legacy content to, thereby extending their monetization streams exponentially.
Your knowledge of the MU and the recording industry is firmly rooted in the 1950s, and even then any similarities between the scenario you describe and the reality of events is purely coincidental. 60 years on, not a single point you make is correct. Zero. Zilch. Zip. Nada. Not a bloody kipper.

The ACs display the fetishistic fervour of devout masochists in the way they set themselves up to have the community heap abuse on them on a daily basis.
Makes ya wonder if they come here just because they're too cheap to pay a woman in stilettos and a leather corset for the same kinda service.

The FDA does good work
Among it's *11* acknowledged life threatening potential side effects is spontaneous rupture of the spleen.
Read that again: Spontaneous rupture of the spleen.
The FDA approved a drug which can make internal organs explode without warning.
I remember seeing this drug widely advertised on TV: "Ask your doctor if Neupogen is right for you..."
