WOW! This is a sudden change. It wasn't too long ago that you were ranting and raving about how with Youtube, Facebook, Myspace (among other social media) and torrents a person could self-release their music and make more money than they could singing with a record label. Now all of a sudden you are saying it is labels or fail.
What happened to you beloved Maria Digby? Or about your golden boy Johnathon Coultron? You did point out that Sick Puppy got 40 million views on their YouTube video without the aid of a record label. Suddenly they are all failures?
You have made exhaustive arguments on how musicians and have great success outside the major label system using your own methods, methods you helped use to get a band signed and make more money than they did when they released a record with that label (or so you claim) and now all of a sudden you seem to no longer agree with yourself. What gives? New meds?
