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?

and what exactly about the statement

those labels are using their current monopoly control to destroy any alternative distribution method to their own.

if record companies force torrent sites and tube sites to keyword filter song titles (see isohunt case) then cover songs would be squashed too
good bye marie digby
good bye ever artist which uses covers to find an audience.
the success i am talking about is dependent in part to having those technologies allowed to operate uncensored.
and every example i gave you was dependent on those technologies remaining uncensored.
