Description:

Jay Cooper, a music lawyer based in Los Angeles, discusses the fiduciary or, as he puts it, moral responsibilities that record companies have to the artists they contract with, how bad it can get it if companies do not make good on these obligations, whether industry-wide trends toward a more moral record industry are in the works, and whether consumers have a moral responsibility toward the record industry in return.
