Fortunately, we live in the Information Age and anyone that signs a bad publishing or record deal has only themselves to blame.

Artists points were and are a huge fleecing especially when the label still took from your cut for any promotion or other expenses.
My #1 screwjob was actually artist on artist. Michael and Paul were close friends, and he had confided to Jackson that he was lining up his assets to buy back the Beatles catalog.
Lo and behold, MJ outbid him to snake away the catalog. If I was Paul, I would have emasculated that little shit and shoved his own dick down his throat to choke on for pulling that epic of a backstab.
