Not really. If you ask the right/enough people you can pretty much get any major deal points you want to know, including some financials. Labels try not to leak royalty/recouping shit because of fear of bad PR, so smaller monetary details get hard to find out, but word gets out sometimes.
Random blogs dont report on so and so inking a 3 album deal because the avg person doesn't give a shit, it's not relevant info (though I have seen it) but I could probably find out the major deal points of every artist on any label I have friends at. Don't think I know anyone at RCA, so can't do Dave but it's not really a secret if you are contracted to write 1 album or 20. Doesn't really offend anyone.
