Fascist even. Most musicians who get signed to a record deal are
surrendering their freedom to the mother country (in this case, the record
label) who gets ALL the money the artist has earned from the creation of
"art" and keeps almost all of it for the good of the companyy....giving the
artist just enough to live on....if that.
