Contextual Reasearch

The document discusses the reasons for choosing to research record label corruption for a final music project (FMP). The author notes how many artists, even big names like Kanye West, have spoken out against unfair treatment by their record labels. They discuss one of their favorite bands, Waterparks, who successfully sued their former label for overworking them and not paying proper wages. This inspired the author to further research examples of label corruption, mistreatment of minority groups, and lesser known cases that deserve more attention. They plan to compile these examples into a journalistic video documentary essay for their FMP to raise awareness of issues in the music industry.
