	Record label - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most major record labels are owned by a few large multinational companies (Big Four record labels) that make up the almost all of the global recording industry, although there is a recent resurgence in independent record labels.
		Often the record label's decisions are correct ones from a commercial perspective, but this typically frustrates the artist who feels that their artwork is being destroyed.
		In the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, many artists were so desperate to sign a contract with a record company that they usually ended up signing a bad contract, sometimes giving away the rights to their music in the process.

	OutboundMusic.com- Record Companies
		There are tremendous differences in a record companies' available assets-both hard assets (physical items under their control) and soft assets (networking connections and the like).
		Some companies will attempt to sign many young artists, do as little initial work as possible and then focus their efforts on the one or two artists showing the most promise.
		Whether a record company has producers under contract or not or whether it operates its own recording studio or subcontracts is pretty immaterial.

	Taking on record companies
		The record companies say the law is clear and on their side: If you download copyrighted songs on the Internet without compensating the songs' owners, you're stealing.

		Tom Cadaret has an interesting post on his blog about the role of record companies, and pondering the idea of smaller labels to avoid most of the problems.
		In the end, all most musicians really need to get their records heard are a means for duplication (tons of companies for that), distribution (still a concern, but this should be a band paying a company for their service), and promotion (again, should be something a band hires a company for).
		Record companies must to hate it when someone gets national recognition without their help, because then its just one more story and one more piece of evidence that the majors aren't necessary.
