Lawyers love the music industry. If you put the words "musicians" and "sue" into a Google search you get over three million hits. Though not a direct measure of legal problems that arise in the music industry, it does provide some indication of the extent to which the music industry is riddled with lawsuits that are invariably about the contracts that are signed in the industry. One party sues the other for failure to fulfill the terms of the contract. Record companies sue artists, artists sue record companies and publishing companies, and band members sue each other [32].
