2711125, Recoded musics's business model is dead

It's not Emily's fault.

The business model has had a good run , say 1890 - 2003.

Now that it's dead there's always the "Happy Birthday to You" model where you extend and extend copyright and sue people who sing the song without paying. (Ever wonder why they sing another song at Chilli's when someone is getting their free cake on?)

I love when multinational corporations (who produce shit like NKOTB and BB and N'Sync) talk about morality. It's money - not morality.

As for the bands - the new business model is the OLDER one where you perform, people pay you for the show, and you don't get to be a multi-millionaire.
