Kinda OT but Jared Leto tweeted a link to his Tumbler site for his Artifact Project. Sorry, don't know how to bring over...
His diagram explains how a typical recording contract is set up between the label and the artist. Assuming this is true, I can't imagine the frustration these artists go thru to get their music out there....back to Adam, I hope he doesn't sign with anyone until he gets the best deal possible!

If this is true and no reason not to think it is, why would an established artist with a fan base even bother to get another contract. Why not distribution with a flat fee? Do their own production? Hire others to do certain work without such clauses? It really smacks of fraud to me, indentured slavery. There are many articles I've read repeating such stories. Is there a battle brewing amongst artist and labels? The new direction of music discussed, going back to real musicality, part of this? Is the reason Adam can afford to buy a house this year the result of not being with a label last year? So many questions!!!  |
