I don't know that it's ever been tested in court, but the law does label it a crime.

I don't believe any artist who says, 'I had to do that because DJs will tell me I can't play that music. I will lose my job.' Well, lose the job and create a new job. If your label won't let you have the cover you want or sing the songs you want, then leave!

I am concerned about the racial component as it relates to the media, but I also go a step further and I say to my people stop putting yourself into position where people can label you like that.

He has something that a lot of other people don't have. You all can label it whatever you want to label it. He's special. I don't know (what it is), but he knows where the ball is going to be at somehow.

There is a diversity of thought and philosophy, diversity of languages and dialects, diversity of political spectrum, and there's a diversity of taste for food. I don't label or characterize Jews in any way.

He's a big guy and has a lot of moving parts. He has to be more consistent. The change in environment can be good for him. Just because you put a label on somebody with one team doesn't mean he'll be the same way with another team.

Here's the exact date: The day I got word we were dropped by the label was on Monday 25th September 1990, a year later than I remembered!

He's carrying this label that he's this mistake-prone guy from his days with the Cardinals. Anyone who knows anything about football is going to know that (Sunday) it was about more than just Jake. Unfortunately, he's the one that's going to have to take the brunt of it.

There are so many good players out there who never truly get to shine, ... They get back, get rolling, then there's another injury. That's the last thing you want is to get that injury label on you.

I was interning at a record label - OK, cool. I'm gonna do what my mom did, you know, work her way up in the music industry, the business side of things. I was comfortable with that. That was what I wanted to do. And then just suddenly I am thrown from that. It was super insane.

I was always a little insecure. I had brothers that played football, so I was just a straight-up tomboy for a minute. I didn't know makeup and hair stuff. My friends had to tell me what a straightener was. I didn't know fashion or any of that until the label gave me a stylist.

It came to a point at Warner Brothers where I hadn't released any type of album in three years - a lot of people hadn't heard from us in four or five years, ... We had an album done, and I thought it was a really good album. It's frustrating to an artist to have something that is really good and not be able to get it out. I went to the head of the label and asked if it was OK if he released me. He did." ()

It breaks my heart to see these young, really talented bands getting chewed up into the system. I remember a time if you'd signed to a major label it was such a sell out! But now... unless you've signed to a big label, you're a failure now.

I think the people at my record label know I'm a Christian and again, I've been really blessed that I've never had to get into a head-butt war over moral standards or anything like that.

I think that Gamma sort of got to that point through management and label and the whole deal and it didn't feel right so I stopped it. Period.

I will never sign to a major record label again. If, by some mega fluke, a record of mine looked like it might break big, I'd try and do it via an indie or somehow license it. I'm not having my music owned by those corporate bastards again.

Just because you're signed to a label doesn't mean you're big time. You have to wait for the right deal to where it's going to work out for you musically and personally.

People always want to call me a Southern writer but though I grew up in the South, I don't feel that the label quite fits my work.

Over the last five years, musicians outside the major label system have created three times as much music (as held by the major record companies). And I think that's just the start.

Originally, after 'Tambourine' came out, another record was supposed to come out, but I had issues with my record label at the time, which was Interscope. We couldn't agree on a record, so that took some time. I had to leave them and find a new label.

Pat Day is not only a great jockey and outstanding athlete, he is one of our community's most respected and beloved citizens and a wonderful role model. Few people wear the label of 'legend' as comfortably as Pat and Churchill Downs is delighted to offer this opportunity for our community to say 'thank you' for all that he has given us through the years. We look forward to joining Pat's family, fans and friends from throughout our community and the country in this celebration of his incredible career on 'Pat's Day' at Churchill Downs.

Part of the reason some of those records fell off is after a while that hype rubs off, ... Then you're just another person in jail. The label doesn't care about you anymore because you can't market and promote your record.

Party label doesn't matter nearly as much anymore at the mayoral level. The real long-term trend everywhere is moving away form the party operations that rooted urban politics in patronage, but that's not to say there isn't still a strong liberal social leaning in many cities.

Steve Jobs was rare: a C.E.O. who actually had a huge impact on his company's fortunes. Contrary to corporate mythology, most C.E.O.s could be easily replaced, if not by your average Joe, then by your average executive vice-president. But Jobs genuinely earned the label of superstar.

Staples instituted this policy to help enforce the warning label on the can. Our cashiers are prompted and reminded to ask for identification when a customer goes to buy a canned air product.

My plan was always to leave school and live in a flat with some friends, have a 9 to 5 job, and try to get as many gigs as I could.

My record label always says you shouldn't talk about money because it makes people extremely uncomfortable. Refugees can't talk about money. Rappers can talk about money; refugees can't talk about money.

Many evangelicals label the Latter-Day Saints as a cult, This could create a problem for him.

Look at the ingredients label and keep trans fats as low as possible.

It enters my mind a lot. I have a good opportunity to play at the big-league level. But you can't determine the future. Who knows what I'm going to be? You can't put a stamp or a label on what I'm going to be until I actually get there.

I think social networking is absolutely here to stay. Now, whether or not the label will Facebook forever, depends in part, I think, on whether Facebook wants to try to be less proprietary, be more central to the operation of defining and stewarding identity online.

It didn't end up being that film because there was a lot of stuff that went on that we didn't -- no one could have anticipated: forming our own label, leaving our label, the long waiting period and sort of the bureaucracy of working through major label mergers, new staff that had no investment in what we'd done in the past. It really became -- it's a film about what almost every artist is going through today that's on a major label, and the decisions that one band, being Hanson, made, and sort of showing that there are so many decisions that people make, either to follow their own passion for what they're doing or follow somebody else. Or there are bands that just fall apart from the process.

It is easy but inaccurate to label any legislation which makes it easier for working families to combine family and work responsibilities 'job killers.'

Maybe I'll work for a label someday, write some fiction, nonfiction. Someday I'd like to go back to school and get my teaching degree. I want to be a grandpa. I want to have more kids.

That was nothing to do with us. A mate of ours runs a record label and he was trying to upstage for a laugh. I refused to look up, so he didn't put me off. I want our album to come out next March, so that's when it's going to come out.

I was never officially signed with Akon, but it was a shopping deal. That was around the time he was going through some problems with his label at Interscope. I waited, but when a deal didn't happen, I just went out on my own.

We had a lot of offers that if we'd taken them we wouldn't be happy. We didn't sign immediately with the label (Polygram) that put out the soundtrack. It wasn't the logical step for us. We entered a period where we worked really hard. We went on tour and recorded, instead of doing what was expected. No, it was about John and me doing what we wanted.

We wanted to have our own nice, small label that has respect in the industry. We're really looking forward to the ride with them.

Virtually every major department store has multiple private label brands, so the creation of a private label division gives us access to an enormous and important customer base, with very substantial revenue growth opportunities.

Thousands of executives and professionals and homemakers have their own automatic labelers, ... and my archives are full of their comments, like, 'Incredible -- I wouldn't have believed what a difference it makes!' the labeler will be used to label your file folders, binder spines and numerous other things.

We never had any expectations for our first album, so I don't know why we should start now. We hope that we at least sell the same amount we sold of our last album. If it's more than that, great. We're on an independent label so we're not afforded the same things that major label bands are. We don't have the same outlets available to us, but we have different outlets that work for us that don't work for major label bands.

Those are stereotypes the sport has, in my opinion, outgrown. It's really a shame and an injustice to some degree that some people have attempted to label it in that way.

You label somebody 'New Age,' and that's automatic mockery: 'She cannot possibly be a serious thinker.'

To have a chance, Lucas must both demonstrate he still has the fire in the belly to serve in Congress and succeed in making this race as much of a personal popularity contest as it can be. Still, you can bet Davis will seek to tie his opponent to his party label at every turn, and we give the freshman Republican an early leg up.

We remain committed to our successful strategy of growth through multiple sales channels, driven by high-margin private label and Sharper Image Design proprietary products,

The people at my label are always endorsing what I say. They say, 'You see the truth, so speak it.' They believe in me. They respect my opinion. At least I have an opinion, and I'm not trying to play it safe. I don't go around saying, 'I think everyone is great, and the world is fantastic.' Everyone has opinions. They just don't say it.

Those are big shoes to follow and I try not to label myself with anyone else's name. But I guess he's the closest one I compare to. I'm really comfortable catching the ball and being more of a receiver. That's something I've been working on too.

We'd love to be able to share some of the new music with our fans. In the past, we've always had to consider leaks and label opinions with new material but there are very few rules for us right now so we're keeping all of our options open.

We don't label people as starters. We have eight to 10 players and we just play them. We have a nice rotation.

We really clicked with the label and they understood what we wanted to do as a band. They gave us a lot of freedom to do what would make us happy with our music.

We knew that it would take a while to find a new label and put out a new album. We decided to put something out in the meantime, not to win over new fans, but for the fans that we've had over the years. We had all these songs that had never seen the light of day. This CD is something for the super-fans.

We're purple. I wouldn't label this team, because they do it all - they play with finesse, they defend together, they attack together. They do everything together, so I wouldn't label us beyond purple.

The partnership over the 28 years we had the company afforded him the opportunity to experiment and live his life as an artist and a label honcho and do what he wanted to do. It afforded me the same opportunity.

While I am most at home in London, I cannot really label myself as either British or Trinidadian. I write in the English language and live in the U.K. I find it hard to say that I am an entirely British writer, especially when I supported Trinidad in the 2006 World Cup and also support the West Indies cricket team.

We are excited to be aligned with a publishing label like 2K Games that shares similar development goals and vision. Fans will be blown away when they see the next-generation titles we are working on.

Two of the fighters that night will emerge as stars in their respective divisions. And in today's boxing world, when television dates are hard to come by, you really have to fight the toughest fights you can to make your fighter a star. ... Two of these fighters will emerge that night, hopefully, with that label on them.

Fair trade. Would it not be more logical to label unfair products?

You are often asked to explain your work, as if the reader isn't able to work it out. And people always try and label you by your work.

While these forms of protection have often been imposed under the label of promoting so-called 'fair trade,' oftentimes they are just simple guises for inhibiting competition.

We knew from music school that if we wanted to get signed we had to give the record label something they didn't have to think twice about. We created our image all on our own.

Twenty years ago, only a major label could produce a really top-quality product, but now the costs of technology have fallen so much that anybody who gets it right and employs the right people can produce excellent results.

You have to be careful (in accusing people of taking bribes), because sometimes what people perceive to be payola really isn't. The disc jock might just like what this artiste or label does, or get lots of request from the public.

we talked about doing something along the lines of a record label together, maybe me working as the artist/producer while he provided more of the business mind to things, as well as some of his creative input. And here we are.

We were pleased to see sales momentum remain strong during the quarter, ... Branded product sales continued to respond favorably to our selling efforts and stepped-up marketing initiatives. Additionally, our private label products recorded another quarter of double-digit revenue growth.

We are trying to get it to be common practice that you have to test what you send and label it.

We went through a lot of drama this year with Head leaving, and getting off our label and making the album by ourselves. We funded the whole album and didn't know what we were going to do with it. By him leaving, we took tragic and turned it into an opportunity for us to create and be inspired.

Everyone working in the manufacture, distribution and use of pesticides has a responsibility to comply with regulatory requirements and product label instructions. Proper stewardship of these products is both a responsibility and the law. Used according to the label, our products are safe and beneficial.

Everyone wants to label guys, label me as a backup point guard, a guy that can't get it done. Those are the opportunities where you have to step up and make it happen.

As the most romantic day of the year approaches, and as a brand that is uniquely male, we wanted to find out how men really feel about Valentines Day, and how they want to celebrate it. The Johnnie Walker Blue Label Luxury Survey tells us what gifts men really want versus what gifts women think men want for Valentine's Day -- and the reality is that we're not as far apart as we like to think.

Doctors, when they see a black box warning, it really makes them anxious in that they can imagine themselves, if an adverse event occurs, in a courtroom trying to explain to a judge why they prescribed the medicine when it says right on the label why it shouldn't be prescribed,

Consumers want to know that the information they see on a government-sanctioned label reasonably reflects what they will experience on the road.

Customers are understanding that private label doesn't mean inferior, and they're figuring out that what they pay for with a brand is the television commercials. We can deliver the same quality, often made in the same factory, at substantial savings.

Epitaph is a label that I've admired for a long time. It's kind of like a record label that would be my own personal record collection at home: punk rock, hip-hop, and great, classic, creative music.

Due to the potential for health risks and environmental impacts, pesticide producers need to ensure that their products carry current and accurate labels. Every pesticide product label must show clearly and prominently the hazard and precautionary statements.

Even if it's true, it's three guys and unfortunately, this is going to be a label the team is going to carry.

There's still young-of-the-year fish out here, but it's not what you would label a strong year-class, that's for sure. I was hoping for something exciting this fall with the yellow perch catch, but it's not going to materialize.

There's no such thing as mid-majors anymore. Throw that label away.

I started the label Tzadik to support an entire community of musicians, not just Jewish musicians. But the radical Jewish culture movement was begun in a lot of ways because I wanted to take the idea that Jewish music equals 'klezmer' and expand it to, 'Well, Jewish music could be a lot more than that.'

I started doing some demos and got online and bought a refurbished laptop, bought a microphone off of eBay. A lot of folks said you can't really do it that way at a pro level, but I did some vocals that way, turned it into the label and they said, 'Wow, where did you record this? The vocals sound great!'

Island Records was the first record label to... acknowledge me. After that, quickly, Republic Records, and then Atlantic Records, Sony Records and Warner Bros. It was all the labels at once. It was absolutely insane, like, knowing that this many record labels were interested in me.
