If one-hit wonders can live in mansions, drive sets of customized Escalades, and wear obnoxious, six-figure necklaces, then I guess that's one food chain in which I wouldn't mind being a bottom-feeder.
American businesses are past the point where they can ever return to valuing integrity and fairness over the bottom line. The record industry is no exception. No surprises here.

actually I have been revuing budgets here at MTV and I can tell you that the amount of money spent on productions is miniscule (and that includes paying the talent) to the cost of the accountants, lawyers, advertising, etc.
I imagine it's about the same at the record companies.
