Having the labels get involved in more than the recordings is not a good deal for artists at all. In many cases those "other" income areas are the only places that artists can sustain themselves after the initial signing money from a label. To sign away everything to labels in such a way sees like going all the way into a sort of artistic indentured servitude.

Unless I am missing something, this doesn't seem good for artists and is setting a bad precendent moving forward. It's probably why the majors were so ready to jump on board, it's very one sided.
