There are plenty of legitimate and wonderfully put together hubs that allow artists to profit from their work directly. CDBaby, Bandcamp and even iTunes and Amazon allow you to sell your own work without any labels being involved.

2-4 grand in legal fees just to have the right to post your shit, in addition to all the cost to profession produce an mp3/music video/etc is a pretty big risk for most independent musicans.
and it just stupid to require a paper label just to sell your shit on itunes.
