It also seems inportant to understand that both the big chains and small guys are already highly dependant on manipulative fees for product placement in the stores... Indeed, in the NYTimes coverage of the Universal price cut, the author claimed that smaller stores were bummed because their promo budgets were getting slashed as part of the deal. These provisions in the contract are clearly Universals attempt to somehow retain the control they used to buy with straight-up cash. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William W.

Me too.
Who on this list has actually seen this agreement firsthand? I think the closest we've come so far was a forwarded email from a person who had an email from a person who said (in the email posted to a different list) that they worked for a record store in texas.
