And they claim music sales are down.

I believe they are right. There was an analysis on the web a while ago showing that the number of titles released is also way down. Hmmmm, coincidence?

Fewer artists depending on corporate machinery. They're losing their grip and are resorting to force to tighten what grip they have left. Instead of seeking partnerships they seek punishment. Oh happy day, when these bastards are broke and out on their ass. These pimps have preyed on our culture and fed us garbage for far too long now. GOOD RIDDANCE!
