Very true!

However,

Is it really ONLY because of the lack of record companies?

Is it really ONLY about making money?



Surely if the industry has a platform that can reach a wide audience I would imagine they would take advantage of that influence.

I don't think conspiracy is the appropriate word but it seems the industry certainly is trying to manipulate a certain message but then again that is what marketing/media is designed to do anyway so it is absurd to just ignore that point as well.
