As someone who's signed to a record label (Victory Records) and has talked with many other bands about their experiences with their record labels, I'd have to say that this post is mostly true in the sense that VCs and record labels are comparable... but it's way over-generalized.

There are some record labels out there who really do care about their artists and do everything they can to help without tossing moral and ethical standards out the window. I know this for a fact. As for Victory, if you know about the label, well... they're not exactly known for their kindness and would probably fall into the blog entry's generalization, but I believe they are getting better about it.

It isn't nearly as black and white as Jacques is making it seem.
