Good article in the new Blender

Anyone see the article in the new issue of lender about the 20 (maybe 25?) worst moves in the history of record labels. It is very good.
Some examples....
Number 1 was the labels suing Napster in 2001, rather than finding a way to capitalize
Other ones include the labels that turned down the Beatles, the single mother who got sued several hundred thousand dollars for downloading, Warner Bros giving R.E.M. an $80m contract right as their commercial popularity hit the wall (Hey, I love R.E.M., but even I knew this one was a bad idea).
These examples are exactly why no one feels bad for the record labels

I love my female wife...
we sit around and wonder exactly why our marriage should feel threatened by gay marriage
