I'm sure they will lose a few fans along the way; I'm sure they already have. Their popularity will ebb and flow with the trends that research types spew to the mega-corporations and labels, not because of a silly lawsuit. All of this *market research* and mega mergers have ruined the music industry and shut out a lot of talented musicians who don't have the *right sound* that these mega corporations think will make them a ton of money. They spoonfeed a lot of crap to willing souls who think it's *good music*. Having been in radio does not increase your credibility one bit. In fact, it erodes it in my eyes.

By the way, what actually did you do as *chart researcher* for Billboard Magazine? I'm just curious. Were you simply monitoring sales, or did you do actual research?
