  Oh complaining about your 401k losing value?
  You're just entitled.
  
  See how that works?
  It's not very nice, is it?

  on Out With The Old, In With The New: How Innovation Has Completely Changed The Music Business
  So.......labels kill innovation but artists should sit back and accept it when labels merge?
  
  Methinks this site is contradicting itself.
  
  Or maybe the site just hates both.

  Your type of thinking requires common sense, which is apparently lacking on the part of the author and most of the forum.

  But it's okay that they just sit back and accept they are assets? That is contradictory and ridiculous.

  "I have no sympathy at all towards any Artist who is stupid enough to be signed to the RIAA/Big Label Scene.
  Do that and you already crossed the line and you are now just a Sell-Out.
  That is how I live and I have the same attitude I have had since around 1975"
  
  Wow. You're so hardcore. You're right.
  *No one* should be able to make a living off of what they want to do! /sarcasm

  Dishonest? In no way is anyone being dishonest.
  Look it up in the dictionary and try again.

  So is Mike going to address the fact that he's supporting slavery, or what?

  I think you need to learn some human empathy instead of being a supporter of slavery.

  Considering they're all acting like no one should have the right to stand up for themselves in an employment situation, I think they deserve to see the situation when the shoe is on the other foot.

  Union bashers

  on Big Name Musicians Threaten To Strike Over Parlophone Sell-Off After Discovering They're 'Just Assets'
  Interesting that a site and a group of people that claim to "stand up" for people's rights suddenly come across as a bunch of union bashers when they don't feel the people getting screwed over have a right to defend themselves.
  Shouldn't it be a level playing field for everyone?
  
  I sincerely hope everyone working for a corporation commenting here has to go through a merger and gets canned. Then we can talk about how you're just whiny and entitled.

  Because it seems like most of those artists signed their deals long before said technology was around. It's not like they signed the deals a year ago.

  Since the "experts" in this thread seem to know more than the artists themselves, I suggest you take a look at the list of artists on the label.
  
  A lot of those artists have been on the label for a long time. It's not like they had a choice back in the day of where to go.
  
  But no, no, the experts are right. You all know more than the artists.

  "Assets"

  on Big Name Musicians Threaten To Strike Over Parlophone Sell-Off After Discovering They're 'Just Assets'
  So.....patents and copyrights should be distributed freely but people should have no rights whatsoever?
  
  Does the author support slavery as well?

  What the hell is entitled about worrying who your company is going to get sold to?
  
  When a company merges or gets sold off, what's the first thing that always happens? Layoffs.
  
  Being worried about your career is not entitled you insensitive prick.

  Indie games take away consumer rights

  on Game Developer Refuses Publishing Offer; Realizes It's Better To Stay Independent
  I find it odd that a site that frequently advocates for privacy and consumer rights, would advocate a platform (digital) where consumers have *no* rights.
  Killing the used game market by going digital is not going to make gaming better.
