That's the artists choice though, no artist is obligated to sign to a major label, they can do it independently or join a smaller label. It's not the governments job (or any businesses job) to "liberate" the poor artists who sold out to big corporations. Ownership rights should be treated the same be it a small indie guy with 20 fans or a huge corporation with hundreds of acts and billions of fans worldwide.
