Look at Jay-Z, he<s buying the knicks, he got a huge record label and he owns the BIGGEST clothing line in America . This would have never been possible without the exposure of the internet .

Right but there is only one problem with that... The recording companies make a small percentage of the performers live performances. Where as they make the majority of their cash from the CD sales. So that is why the execs are more pissed than the actual musicians.
