" "It is an insult to all those record stores who have supported
Prince throughout his career"

they are lying, their business model is failing.
He fought with the record companies, that is why he became the artist
formely known as...
they never supported any artist!!!
they made money off all artist!! if it did not sell, they shipped it
back for a refund.
buy your cd's from the artist at their live shows!!!
the firms who do the "counting" (billboard etc) can not count the cd's

they are lying,

Why does everybody in the newsgroups always accuse someone of lying?

their business model is failing.

No two ways about it: The "record industry" as we know it is slowly
losing its hold on the market.

Baloney. The "record industry" deserves credit for CREATING the world
of popular music (and all its sub-genres) as we know it. Without them
there would have been no mass-produced recordings, no home audio
industry, no 50s rock movement, not 60s rock movement, etc., no music
video industry, and so forth.

The formula was simple: The industry wanted to make money in order to
grow, so it located talented artists, writers, recordists, producers,
engineers and gave them a piece of the pie in return for a shot at
stardom. And when stardom came, everyone profited, which generated
more money to discover more artists, more demand for product, more and
better audio systems, etc. For all and any wrongs (real or imagined),
the recording industry has given us much, and I thank them.

buy your cd's from the artist at their live shows!!!

Nobobdy's going to make any substantial money off that, but so be it.
Mass appreciation comes from mass distribution.

the firms who do the "counting" (billboard etc) can not count the cd's
that the artist sell...

Do you hate business?

"honest"

does the term tin pan alley mean anything...
the publishing rights, that is where the money is
sign this contract kid, we will make you a star...

The formula was simple: ... to make money

that is the bottom line, it is not about the art or the artist.
the aesthetic is inconsequential, money money money
the starving artist who were exploited and dumped when they were
depleted
this is why Ms Raitt and others do benefit concerts.
I went to one for Sippy Wallace...

so it located talented artists, writers, recordists, producers,
engineers and gave them a piece of the pie in return for a shot at stardom.

talented artist like insync, backstreet boys or britney...

And when stardom came, everyone profited,

ha ha good joke, most artist did not
the labels and associated personel did and screwed the artist
ask John Fogerty

and I thank them

obviously you are not one of the artist who wrote or performed music
who were exploited.

yeah, live show / performing for the audience,
prince- 21 shows-20,000 tickets per...
he sold out 15 shows within a couple of hours
He should make at least $21,000,000
He appreciates his fans, hasn't had a "hit" record for some time
gives away latest cd, an action that will sell even more of his older
records.

Do you hate business?

explotive unethical business practices ... YES
