Corporations withholding royalties from artists is obviously bad. But it's entirely consistent to condemn such abuse while still supporting the idea that artists ought to be repaid for their work.
- tptacek 14y agoCorporations withholding royalties from salaried employees with whom no agreement was made regarding royalties is not "obviously bad".
