Recordando a un #migordo en el evento de Bloomberg en la UFM, olvido ahorita el nombre, puesto medio alto en Cementos Progreso, que dijo algo como ‘yo no creo en esas conspiraciones que las empresas llevan las riendas’, pues voy compartiendo un poco de opiniones a tomar en cuenta..
“The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench,
a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free,
and good men die like dogs. There’s also a negative side.”
- Hunter S. Thompson

The truth is that big business controls the types of music and artists that get exposure and become popular. The record industry is a $14 billion dollar business. The five major record labels; Sony, Universal, BMG, EMI and Time Warner dominate 85% of the market when it comes to sales of Compact Discs. Leaving only 15% for the hundreds of independent record labels and thousands of artists out there. And when indies get too big or an artist starts making noise these major companies usually pick up the artist or label. This way they control the artist/label, get a percentage of the sales and keep competition to a minimum.
