Those companies are all about fast growth and big revenue, not propping up an at-risk business model.
Many people complain about the drive for maximum profit. But do they take the job offered at $50,000 over the one offered at $75,000? Would they open an account in a bank that gave 2% interest rather than one that gave 20%.

When a company becomes an investment rather than a family tradition or a labor of love...

I'd dump the music companies, if I owned any...unless they got me more hot chicks than the higher profits would.
