You were going on about how you'd never seen an Oomph t-shirt to which you were disproven. See what I mean about stumbling over contradictions?

You're making claims about their contract to which you know nothing about, thats not something thats an opinion.

What the f*** do you know? That they sell pens? How many of thier songs have you heard? And if any which ones?
How is me having heard songs even relevant? I listened to one, boring garbage.

It says that the record company owns the music completely and expects the band to sell merchandise (they essentially have a quota and if you don't pay them they take everything from you until you do), the band has little to no choice.

Essentially, the band technically has the right to not sell merchandise, but if they don't thier lives are going to be raped which really means it's not that much of a choice. The companies expect a lot of money and it will rarely be fulfilled without selling merch.
Thats not THEIR contract though is it?
