I'm Am Now A Slim Shady Fan

Although I have never REALLY dug his music, I have always respected Eminem's push to "kick it to the man". I have always been a supporter of artists that want to et their due. Although it shouldn't all be about money, I feel that large labels and corporate America take advantage of the artistic point of view of artists. I believe that it shouldn't be about money, but when there is money to be made, it should be distributed fairly and just fully.
I really hope that Eminem and his label win this dispute. It will definitely have other artists thinking and getting what they deserve. Granted, it will also have these large companies rethinking their business structure, as they will try to survive and still make a lot of money. With that said, though, they will reconstruct it and it will benefit artists. Kudos to Eminem and let's all root for his case to come to a victorious conclusion.
