So my answer is <b>NO</b>. If MCM is Levi's partner, <i>“we”</i> will not be in trouble, especially if you are seeking long-term success and sustainability. <br/> <br/>But I say this understanding "change is inevitable." So it is not MCM's mission to uphold the old systems and practices, but to preserve and increase people’s enjoyment of music and further increase its profitability by communicating its value to corporations worldwide. If it requires new techniques and strategies to accomplish this vision, I’m personally fine with that. Michelle:

First of all thank you for your quick response.

As companies in other industries become the "majors," do you have any one in senior management who is working out of a love for music? I sure hope so.

I don't know; only time will tell.<br/><br/>In regard to MCM, you have honestly addressed the core reason for our existence. Our purpose is to lead music to its full potential. So yes, MCM wants to participate in developing the future of music. ("Control" is a strong word!) Our goal is to partner with companies like Levi's to maximize the earning and artistic growth potential within their music-driven initiatives. You've bascially exposed where MCM fits into the picture. We are the gap between music and captialism. So thank you. By the way, you're a very beautiful young lady.<br/><br/>NOTE: This is Jazzy S.O.U.L.'s girlfriend. Please, don't be alarmed. Michelle:

This is the end for all of the current major labels (such as EMI, SonyBMG, etc.) if their models don't change fast. There will still be "major" labels; they will just call themselves Starbuck's, Levi's, Best Buy and Electronic Arts. Unfortunately, this will just lead to the music industry being controlled by coffee shops, clothing companies, video game producers, and electronic retail stores. So we might have trouble either way. What do you all think? In response to Michelle’s comment: No, I don’t believe this is the end of “major” record labels all together.
