Nashville canceled Morgan Wallen. His fans haven’t. How record labels decide what stars to stand behind — and which ones to drop.

last July after the band’s founder, Avi Zahner-Isenberg, was accused of raping a former bandmate ."That’s something we, as artists' lawyers, are probably going to have to beef up [negotiations about] in the future," the lawyer said."There should be a mechanism for what would then be the artists' rights.

More labels could also add safeguards to recording contracts known as morality clauses, which are common in brand endorsement deals. Most stipulate an agreement can be terminated if an artist commits an act of"moral turpitude," which can be anything that violates"community moral standards" and brings"public disrepute" to the company.

"These clauses are getting broader and broader, especially since the #MeToo movement," says Fox Rothschild partner, in response to changing circumstances."The fans will not only attack the artists but also the company and push them" to sever ties with the talent.
