The Sins of The Music Industry
Warner music has agreed to pay $5 million dollars to settle the payola claims brought against it by Elliott Spitzer.
Now let me see if I have this right. If you jack a $.99 sent song off the internet, you are subject to a fine - punitive damages - of $150,000 per song. So Warner's crime - in the music industry's view - is the equivalent of some kid who jacked 34 songs.
