Theorist Guy Debord spoke of the Mafia and the recording industry.
In the United States at least, it is already in the
recording industry, as in every other activity where
publicity of a product depends on a quite concentrated
number of people. It is easy to apply pressure to them,
with bribes and intimidation, since there is obviously
quite a great deal of capital and hitmen who can not be
recognized nor punished. By corrupting the disc-jockeys,
one thus decides what will succeed, from equally
wretched commodities. [1]
