Record companies see it as mutiny. Musicians call it an overdue rebellion. Either way, the artists rights movement has set the stage for combat that could revolutionize the music industry.What started as a classic David-and-Goliath skirmish over contractual terms could be tilting toward a level battlefield as opposition on a wide range of issues swells against an industry mired in a sales slump."The record business is in rough enough shape that something might actually change," says Craig Marks, editor of Blender magazine. "If things werent so uncertain, so bleak and in such disarray, the industry would be immovable, even with a gun to its head. If there was ever a set of circumstances that could lead to artists making inroads, its now."
