The sad thing is the record labels are about making money, not about making great music or having a healthy industry. It's simply about profits. There are now new methods of distribution and marketing that don't involve major record labels. Snowcap and MySpace are prime examples, though obviously we're going to have to go a lot further than that. The good thing is that major players in the industry like NIN are pushing toward this direction, and with luck we'll have the artists at the forefront, dedicated toward making great music, and these marketing/distribution organizations will work for the good of the artists instead of simply for profit. That said, profit and appreciation of the art are most certainly not mutually exclusive. It's certainly possible to make just as much money while allowing healthy growth in the industry, but the record labels are stuck in their old ways, and it's about how to make money right now, use the industry for what it's worth, and get out with as much as they can. A sad state of affairs, but if the artists will fight back strong enough, they can all open new avenues. I hope to be joining their ranks shortly.

Yeah, though Radiohead kind of did that as a marketing gimmick rather than testing a new form of distribution. In that sense, NIN and Saul Williams are better examples.
