Seriously? Is this just about Trivium? No. Think about the people who have lost their jobs because of this corporate bullshit. As if being a metal musician wasn't hard enough, nobody gets paid what they're owed anymore and Roadrunner have more market flow than any other label. So how long before we see it happen to other smaller labels? Piracy is one thing, but bands don't make money from CD sales anyway; its from people buying tickets to their shows, buying their merch AND buying their CDs.
