I understand middle men are needed in business....I suggest they have too much control

The fact that you have to come to them and almost beg for their services to be able to accept credit transactions shows who the puppet master is

Fall out with them and try to hold them accountable and you get made an example like me.

Still it does not discourage me because I stand on solid ground...you cannot stop an idea whose time has come.

Think about Prince and his battle with middle men (record companies) Same exact principle here no different.

Prince is the most prolific and giftend musician of our generation hands down period end of story.

He is an artist and creator of music that fans will always wnat to hear and will always support what he does.

What happend when he called out the record companies for fraud, abuse, censorship, and many other shady things that middle men do to artists.

People thought he was nuts psycho insane after landing a 100 million dollar record deal.

Well the fallout was him wanting artistic control over how he delivered and sold his music to his fans.

The middle men (record companies wnated him to focus on music and videos while they focused on maximizing revenue from each record to the point of holding back and stifling his creativity.

Now He felt strongly that to have sold a cd album at 14.95 and for somebody like him to only receive $2.00 per album sold was robbery.

He wanted to do business directly with his fans and offer albums much cheaper circumventing the middle men who take so much off the top and then falsify the STATS REPORTS and SALES.

Prince realized then that the system of music delivery and profit structure was not setup to benefit artists like him but to benefit greedy shady middle men and execs who new nothing about art,music, but knew everything about blood sucking the lion share of the profits made from his musical work.

They tried to black ball him so he could not distribute his music or get a deal any where.

They called him crazy, psycho, looney, spolied, drama addicted you know all the ususal names slung at people who go against the grain.

He stuck to his guns stopped cooperating with the system and ultimately because of his large loyal fan base and following he divorced from record companies and set up a venue to eliminate most of the middle men and deal directly with his fans who wanted to buy his art.

So ultimately him going against the grain and making a stand for what he believed in his heart was a just cause even when no one else understood or supported his efforts...something inside him was guiding his dealings, and ultimately it boiled down to having more freedom as an artist and business man.

Which drove down prices for his music, which saved fans tons of money, and there was not middlemen execs to scrape 80% of the profits anymore!

I use The Legendary Prince as an example to show just because a system is set up one way and it has obvious limitations and flaws nothing is ever going to change unless someone some where lays it all on the line and says no more....not today.

I am here to tell you there is a new age upon us, and the days of the middle man having total control and set up to profit,and control who profits is not sustainable

customers are pissed, merchants are pissed and middlemen are just passing the buck.
