Who's the biggest asshole currently in music?

[Ken Burch]

30. We're just talking about musicians here

in the Eighties, one of the biggest behind-the-scenes music biz douches was a guy named Miles Copeland. To start with, he was the son of a CIA agent. He then became a label head in Britain(and was an outspoken Thatcherite as well)in which role he openly defended the right of record labels to take most of the proceeds from album sales while leaving the people who actually wrote and performed the music with almost nothing.

Further back, you'd also want to include every white-owned label that ever cheated a black r&b group out of its rightful share of royalties.
