A "racket" is a dishonest activity that portrays itself as the opposite, conducted for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. The music industry has historically functioned in this way, acting in the interest of a small group that knew how it actually worked, be it label executives, publishers or lawyers. Many have been exploited by this system, but the Internet has allowed people to finally bring awareness to what's been going on for decades. This podcast is about amplifying those stories and shedding light on an industry that feeds on the work of the creative class, but mostly rewards those in the capitalist class that run the music business.
