It's not just the top 40 mainstream artists, it's the tens of thousands that

<sarcasm>OH NO! The record industry just LAID PEOPLE OFF! There are
absolutely NO OTHER companies doing that right now! It MUST be because of the
EVIL MUSIC PIRATES and have NOTHING to do with the state of the
economy!</sarcasm>
