If you had read my previous posts you would have noticed that:
a) the title was just something to catch people's attention.
b) i don't have a problem with what trent did, rather i am disappointed and baffled by the public and press adoption of it as a possible model for the general industry/bands.
also, just because the labels are self-serving doesn't mean they aren't important and useful.

i also believe it was trent that made trent's dream a reality, and the industry helped only insofar as it furthered their own agenda. the instant it stopped doing so, they would have dropped him in a heartbeat no matter the consequences to him or his dream or his fans.
"all's fair" is what they'd say... and, as it turns out, they appear to be right.
