I read this interesting article about how Pink Floyd won their case against their record company which wanted to permit individual songs to be downloaded whereas Pink Floyd would only agree to the whole album being downloaded in its entirety as a complete musical work.
Personally I love the concept of albums having grown up listening to albums in their entirely, good songs together with not so good songs. To this day I have problems with creating my own playlist preferring to listen to an album whole. But I digress.
As I read the article, I started to wonder how Pink Floyd’s contract was drafted. How much control over “artistic integrity” did Pink Floyd have? Need to go find the law report now.
