uh well i don't download SY records and I do buy them but i also don't necessarily agree with your thinking... Alot of labels are still surviving and actually making a profit in this day and age, the story about Geffen is no surprise, this has been going on for that label for years now. Like any business if it cannot market itself and make margins/profits or whatnot then they are the ones should take alot of the fault, not 100% but the upper management at Geffen must take the majority of the responsibility for what is happening as they must have made some poor decisions in the past and recent past for them to be in this current position. And actually since Universal owns Geffen, I could see Universal putting pressure on Geffen to make these sort of decisions to make a bottom line... sad but this is the story of corporate america and the current economy situation in this country and the world for that matter.
