Okay. Simon Cowell owns a music label called Syco.
Syco is a subsidary group of a larger corporation you might have heard of named Sony Music Entertainment.
The band Rage Against the Machine are signed to a music label called Sony Music Entertainment, they recieved all the profits of people who would normally buy the X Factor single as well as a huge amount of surplus profits from people who don't watch or buy X Factor merchandise buying, sometimes up to ten times, a record that they own the rights to.
Simon Cowell is personally responsible for creating this drama and giving Sony a very very tidy profit over the last few weeks.
So what exactly has been achieved for the common man, hmmm?

You're missing the point. I believe the original point was about making a little change. I believe that the people responsible for this business were bothered by the X Factor's "winning" streak. I don't think that it was to spite Cowell (although I voted for this reason - whilst I knew I wasn't spiting him, it's the closest I'll probably ever come to doing).
