I know absolutely nothing about TikTok, but as someone who has been alive since vinyl records were the standard vehicle for music, I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt that Universal are the bad guys here. Record companies are the scum of the earth, absolute garbage human beings.

I'm more inclined to believe both parties are the bad guys here. The only good guys are the musicians stuck in the middle.

You are assuming that bad guys can't fight other bad guys

[–] darkmatternoodlecow 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not really, although I see your point. I just have a particular dislike of record companies.

I have a dislike for any party that are profiting from artists

Probably because they have been around long enough to read and see the news/information about how predatory the business is... do you really need citations?
