...band members eventually agreed to a contract with Warner Brothers Records, which arranged to re-release Breakdown with increased support from radio and MTV. With the label behind them, the group left behind small Vancouver clubs to play alongside the likes of mainstream superstars No Doubt and indie heavyweights the Shins...

The amount of money at stake is not negligible. Last month, for example, Florida’s Hillsborough County Public School District negotiated a 12-year contract with The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. for $50 million. Until governments fund public education appropriately, schools should...
