Re: press coverage
Actually Nettwerk Music is the biggest label in Canada. The artist in question is Avril Lavigne. Check out the article. This is bigger than just an indie label going toe to toe with the RIAA. |

| Yes big in Canada but compare it to SonyBMG, Universal, WarnerMusic and it is little in the RIAA. Nettwerk Music Group is still a little guy that started on-line radio stations to get their artist there instead of signing a bad deal with the Big guys. |

| They are big enough. They have offices in Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Boston and London. They are considered a big player in regards to who they manage with acts like BT, Sarah McLachlan, Dido, BT, Sixpence None the Richer, Tiesto, Margaret Cho, Barenaked Ladies and others. They have distribution deals with RCA, Chrysalis and Arista. They have sold over 100 million albums for a roster of about 85 artists in their pool. Sony might be bigger, but these guys are big enough for the industry to stand up and take notice. |

said by SRFireside  :Big enough. Nettwerk is the biggest record label in Canada. That's like saying, "My cousin Speedy is the fastest mouse in all of Mexico". It's an interesting fact, but no one cares or gives them a second look. |

2 edits | uh oh....someone has a case of ADS (American Derangement Syndrome).
It's a horrible illness that makes liberal beatnik Eurotrash and Socialist Canadians turn beet red and boil with anger whenever they hear something related to the Stars and Stripes. Makes all logic and reason fly out the window and the infected person because defensive and irrational....
Mind you not all suffer from this, just the ones who think America is the root of all evil whilst not realizing their own countries have corrupt hidden agendas as well. Other common symptoms include:
-hippocritical chastising of America's "Imperialist" policies while conveniently forgetting the fact their people systemically raped the Afican landscape and nearly destroyed the indigenous populations of Africa.
-Criticizing Israel and the USA's Middle East policy while conveniently forgetting the Britons were the ones who carved up Palestine and Iraq/Iran without regard to ethnic heritage, culture, language or religion.
- Calling Bush names such as Hitler while forgetting two world wars were fought and hundreds of millions of people were cruelly and savagely killed on their own lands due to over zealous nationalism and dick waving...
- Superiority complex because they think they are more intelligent than the average US citizen...despite the fact everyone is fighting to get into school here.
- Call Americans warmongers...but won't talk about the past one thousand years of brutal colonialism and religous crusades spawned from their people.
- Two words...National Socialists...
Most cases break out in France, Spain and Germany, with mild breakouts in the UK (usually with males) and Canada......
If you encounter anyone with this terrible affliction, do not bother to debate with them and they will only get angry and call you a Yank, Cowboy, Ami, or pig...but will still buy American clothes, watch American TV and listen to American music. |

| Okay, then I'll say it. You really went way off on a tangent just to respond to a single statement. You took that statement to an extreme that just didn't seem to be warranted. The first unregistered poster WAS showing arrogance in saying nobody cares about another country's "best". The response wasn't all that shocking. Considering we're talking about a record company in Canada I'm not sure how we got to "don't talk smack about America, the rest of the world is just as bad" jazz.
Oh yeah, jamessympatico is apparently from Canada. None of your points had anything to do with that country. |
