Great, then you missed the brunt of the statement that people were making.

Social media hasn't quite reached that stage yet, so RATM was chosen. Yes, signed by Sony, but their statement wasn't against Sony, it was against Simon Cowell and the forcefed music shoved down our throats (including emo bands, ergo an independently-signed emo band getting #1 instead would have made a worse statement, that people will eat forcefed shit just as long as some large company isn't profiting from it.).
