Marketing of new bands by labels is a joke.
Is Britney Spears making millions due to marketing or her amazing skill and musical ability?

Many artists see this, and that's why they hate their record companies. It's also why so many are trying to go independent now that the internet makes it possible.

Your point is a temporary glitch in the system. Eventually, the indies will either fail or be successful enough to be bought out, unless the government suddenly goes back to doing its job of providing proper regulation.

Do you not know who controls the big 4? There is enough money to buy out every label and the government between them.

Right back to the problem of giving too much power to government, thus making them a useful thing to control.

Ah well, this is just a circle-jerk now, so I'm out (like all the other smarter guys who gave up on this thread earlier).
