Weird Al's Record Deal

Weird Al Yankovic Says Digital Is a Raw Deal For Some Artists. I never worried about record company collusion over the increased price of CD's relative to tapes, nor do I think the current system needs to be burned to the ground. A little more transparency would go a long way, though, to make me feel better about myself as a wise consumer. As a side benefit, it might help artists and companies too. Same thing for sports - which happen to get a lot of money from governments via stadiums.
