EMI CDs Building Blocks for China
The Lunatics are amazed by the counter-productive behavior major labels have been using to sell their music. It’s no wonder music has been suffering for so long. As the recent purchaser of EMI Guy Hands discovered, the music company was not functioning like any other business he’d ever seen.
First he discovered the $400,000 in the budget for office flowers was just a beard for the hookers and blow budget. The Lunatics wonder how many CDs you have to sell to make this marketing approach profitable? Were all the artists at EMI music given this marketing surge? Is that why Paul McCartney is so upset?
Then our boy Guy intelligently questioned what the RIAA did for EMI other than suing his company’s customers for the $132,000,000 EMI contributes each year.
And now Guy finds out 1,000,000 EMI CDs are paving Chinese highways.
It’s no wonder the major labels are going broke. How much longer can hookers and blow, the cartel mentality, and wasteful over manufacturing dominate our music scene? The MP3 Lunatics understand why there’s no good music these days. The record companies have abandoned music in favor of dubious business practices.
Yo Hands… can one Guy straighten this out? Good Luck.
