It is .. but many industries don't exemplify good business, and record companies are no exception, far from it imo. They don't seem to have grasped how to manage the changes forced on their industry, nor to be able to design strategies to for different groups of artists. They seem happy to enjoy the money they make from contracts which are skewed to benefit them with the wave of new young artists, rather than exploit all opportunities; quick and high volume small returns from downloads in a crowded market, then on to the next one, because there are a hundred more waiting.
