I severely doubt he had no involvement in this. He has been known to be very vocal about artists’ rights. Back in the early '90s he crusaded against used CD sales, up to the point he forbade retailers who sold such from selling new CD copies of his music. The Federal Trade Commission eventually got involved because behind the scenes, the major labels had made a pact amongst themselves to do the same (prohibit retailers who sold used CDs from carrying new CDs); this was deemed a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act’s prohibition against “concerted refusals to deal.”
