This is too much man. I’m sorry. The lengths you’re going to defend this behavior is bonkers. Sure, let’s just discount decades of countless black musicians being absolutely fucked by record labels “because it was in the contract” and every single person along the way was breaking off a piece for themselves at their expense. Yeah, Alan Moore has this one nuanced thing, that totally invalidates the countless creatives who have been and will continue to be fucked by deep-pocketed companies whose mission is to claw every cent possible from creators even though they didn’t make shit.
