Rap artist Ice-T and his band, Body Count, recorded a song called Cop Killer in which the singer gleefully anticipates slitting a policeman’s throat. (The lyrics to this song are available at http://www.cleat.org/remember/TimeWarner/lyrics.html.) Time Warner, Inc., produced this song and other gangsta rap recordings with violent and sexually degrading lyrics. Recorded music was an important source of profits for the company, which was struggling with a $15 billion debt and a depressed stock price. If Time Warner renounced rap albums, its reputation in the music business—and future profits—might have suffered. This damage could spill over into the multimedia market, which is crucial to Time Warner’s future. The company was concerned about several important stakeholders—shareholders, consumers, suppliers (rap musicians). What decision would you have made if you had been CEO of Time Warner?
