I can't even begin to count the ways that this is disturbing

Blackground records has managed to convince a judge that the singer Aaliyah was an asset of the company, rather than an employee. So now musicians aren't even human, they're an object? Does this mean that said assets could be bought and sold?

I've always suspected that a number of label execs viewed their talent as sub-human; now here's some confirmation.

Thanks to Simon for the tip.

dats stupid because singers r humans to for some reason people think singers or performers have to be perfect all the time but that aint true at the end of the day we are all the same.
alliyah was an insperation it was a shame she died because when she looked rough she didnt care unlike beyonce (the slut) and ashanti who constantly want to please men its ju8st not right
