[mb-style] RFC: Artist 'is managed by' AR
Pretty simple, most artists have a manager and we can't currently represent this in MB. It should be a link between a person and an artist/group. I'm not sure what else to say. any opinions on this? Now that I think about it, aren't some artists managed by a company? I'm not really sure how a company can be represented in MB. Anyway...

I'm not sure what else to say. any opinions on this? I feel this is moving into the 'legalities' of the music business rather than just recording information about the music or artists. Artist management can and does change over time, often due to legal disputes. It wouldn't be good to have out of date information such as: X is managed by Y When there is a court battle between them.

That was my initial thought too but you could argue the same point about the 'was involved with' and 'has spouse' ARs. It wouldn't be good to have out of date information I don't understand this objection, relationships change all the time that's why we have start and end times for them.
