Betrayal and Loss of Ownership Rights

The chapter describes a betrayal within the band where the drummer deceives the speaker into signing over their ownership of the trademark to the corporation, resulting in the speaker losing control and ownership rights they had contributed significantly to. The speaker expresses frustration at the lack of transparency and attribution in profiting from their work. Drawing parallels with another band's situation, they emphasize the importance of honesty in music branding for fans' sake.
