I would think they should be produced, and once I own a record company, it
will matter what records I think should be produced. Your general tone here
suggests that you feel that this is our decision to make as a society. A
record company and a songwriter are individual entities, interacting
voluntarily, and unless otherwise stipulated by a contract, either party can
withdraw.

There are some that do, I imagine. This leaves an untapped market and an
opportunity for others to move in.

I'm missing the race reference that you're referring to here.

Maybe you can post an example, but off the top of my head, after reading the
speech once, I can't think of a place where he (Heston) said anything where
he advocated restricting anyone's liberty.
