Downhillbattle.org gives 6 reasons why we’re better off without the major record labels:
- Music diversity will grow, because people will decide what’s popular, not scientifiy hit-making models and marketing.
- Pay-for-play radio will end, which means that independent labels can now compete in a much fairer way.
- Independent music won’t be marginalized.
- The lawsuits will stop.
- Artistic freedom will expand, because of sample-based music becoming legal and because artists can make the choice of who they work with and what they want on their albums.
- Musicians will make a better living, because musicians will get a bigger cut of the pie and independent musicians will be more able to get their stuff on the radio.
