Nanook

I think the issue the music industry has is that it's become superfluous. In the old days the only way to get national exposure and distribution was to get a contract with a major label. They'd press samples, distribute them to radio stations, and then produce product and distribute it to retailers.

These days anyone can hire someone to put together a website with a payment gateway and advertise online. The labels no longer serve a purpose except to sap earnings from musicians.
