I agree with Afterthefact: big companies have their good sides too. Marketing and prmotion is much better of course.
I wouldn't mind it, if there were 10 or 20 big record companies competing with eachother, like it used to be a few years ago.
But now, it's only four. And these same companies rule the movie and the computergame market (as far as I can see). It really is becoming Big Brother.
And it is bad for new bands, who want to enter the market. In Holland, unless you are Di-rect, Anouk, Blof or Golden Earring, you get NO airplay...
