...agreement was extended until March 15, 2013 and will be automatically extended for successive one-year terms unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal no less than ninety days prior to the annual March 15 expiration date (commencing with March 15, 2013), in which case the agreement shall end on the March 15 immediately following the receipt of such notice; (ii) an annual base salary of $3,000,000, subject to discretionary increases from time to time by the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee; (iii) a target bonus of $2.5 million, with a minimum of $1.5 million and a maximum of $5.0 million; (iv) his new title of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Recorded Music " North America

One_dollar_bill THE HYPEBOT CHALLENGE: Apple's Steve Jobs works for a base pay of just $1 per year. But stock options and bonuses awarded when the company soared have made him a very rich man. Label execs are fond of telling us "its all about the music". It's time they put their money where their mouths are.

Join me in challenging Lyor Cohen, Edgar Bronfman and other major label execs to follow Steve Jobs' example and re-set your base pay at $1 plus generous bonuses based on results. They've made millions from music. Now they need to give something back. I'll even pay the dollar.
