Record Labels Looking for a Cut of Tour Revenues

Posted by michael on from the blood-from-turnips dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "As many a Slashdotter has pointed out, musicians make their money not from selling records but from going on tour. Now record labels are trying to get a piece of the action. 'Now the music labels, hungry for revenue from any source, are mulling over whether to make a grab for a piece of the tour biz. One company already has: In October EMI Recorded Music signed a deal with Brit singer Robbie Williams that gives the label a cut of the pop star's merchandise, publishing, touring revenue and sponsorship.'"

    If there's one certainty I've learned in my 45 years on this earth, it's this: CmdrTaco loves that big old black dick shoved right in his face.

    Other than that, there are no absolutes.

    alas, karma is not applied to an ip address. As an AC, about all we can do is damage a given IP. Still, keep up the good work brother troll, and drink some water before you go to bed so you're not too hung over in the morning.

    Isn't Robbie Williams a nigger? The last thing we need is more of those people hooting and hollering like a bunch of drunk monkies on MTV.

    We have Brittany Spears because a record company invested millions of dollars in creating her.

    I'd live to cum all over those beautiful tits of hers. I'd smear it all over her chest and make her eat it. Then she could sit on my face and fart all night for all I care.
