Even the best managers often have business relationships with labels and depend on record companies to refer new clients. Think about Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam's stand against TicketMaster. Attorneys and managers are your employees. Make sure they know how you feel and that you want them to publicly support the idea that the terms of recording contracts are unfair and cover too long a time period. You also want them to supportan organization that will negotiate health and pension benefits for all recording artists.
Artists have all the power.
They create the music that makes the money that funds the business. No one has ever harnessed that power for artists' collective good. Join us now in taking a public stand. Your name will help get the attention that artists rights deserve. If you're willing to speak to the media or testify before Congress, you can help make our goals a reality.
