He said the band's success gave them artistic freedom and the ability to talk about subjects dear to them such as fair trade - paying fair prices for products such as coffee and cotton from developing nations.

The only problem I have with corporations is that nutbars like Chris here are marketed and promoted beyond their level of intelligence. In a more perfect world Chris would still be slouching around alone and waisted in his mom's basement.

"Shareholders are the great evil of this modern world."What a dumbass.
Basically, what he's saying is: "Anybody who says that I have to work first before I get paid is the great evil of this modern world."
In other words, he's a two year old.

Well, if he doesn't like having to deliver to the shareholders, he can go back to selling his plasma at the homeless shelter or waiting tables.
What a clueless, no talent a$$ clown.

Chris, just go back to changing Apple's diapers..thank you! (and shut up and sing)

Maybe he should quit the label and start playing at coffee pubs. He'd have no money, but then he wouldn't be dictated to by the evil shareholders.
What's that? He likes being rich? Oh, now what will he do?

Coldplay's Chris Martin has dismissed pressure to boost his record company's profits, saying: "Shareholders are the great evil of this modern world." Yeah, all those ex-Soviet rockers with the mansions in South Florida really show how it should be done. ;)
Actually, he does have a point about the stifling effect of large record companies on musical creativity - he just errs in trying to extend that point into a general condemnation of capitalism.

"It's very strange for us that we spent 18 months in the studio just trying to make songs that make us feel a certain way and then suddenly become part of this corporate machine," Martin said."
Wake up dude. You voluntarily became part of the corporate machine the day you signed a contract with a big record label, and you know it. You can't jump in a pool and then act shocked that you got wet.

So why don't you go and self-produce, and market?
Maybe because you need those evil shareholders to supply funds for your "art"?

Some of the marketing I saw for this band was on the level of P Diddy and they didn't mind one bit.
They are all multi-millionaires now due to that "label" and they bite the hand that feeds it
again..Prince syndrome...they need to get a grip. Millions of bands will take his place in a minute if need be.

Reminds me of the old
