Remember back 10 year ago, there was this the really popular singer who called herself Poe - had a hit or two, an amazing concept album based on her brother's novel, and a sudden, total disappearance from the music scene? Big with the goths, the club kids, and the Buffy crowd. You remember.
Turns out, she disappeared because of a decade-long fight with her label.
Yup. Those labels should definitely have more control over music distribution.
