Things like that can work (Pepsi did drop Ludacris) and then they can backfire(Body Count by Ice-T) making the artists into pop culture/free speech icons. The companies will find another less public way to make money through the artist that just got all that nice free publicity.
I dunno, maybe I am just extremely cynical about the ability of any protests to stop America's corporate tastemakers.
