Without record labels how would Radiohead had this much success over the last 10+ years? Radiohead is BEFORE the internet being mainstream.
The record labels do an incredible amount for the band and it costs an incredible amount of money.
Are The Rolling Stones broke?

And now your retarded question...
Let's think of the logic on this... In 10 years what has the Internet done for Bands? It has given them millions of more fans, it has given them the ability to move away from the lies the studios told them.

In 10 years the internet has given bands the ability to cut out the record label.
and reach fans more easily.
The internet also created a easy way to pirate music and if you look at the NUMBERS THE SALES FIGURES.
The numbers have done nothing but go down the last 10 years.

Local wise - I know the Internet has produced rather large concerts for people. A great example would be a Rave and that one Country Music Festival in Texas was all Internet, then the Radio picked up... not the other way around. Again, this is what I know - no way I can keep track of the world - so I'm sure this easily in the 1000's....

What the fuck does that have to do with torrents and stealing music?

Give the Internet born bands another 5-10 years. Give them the same years they need to develope and grow a business, and learn an entire new Industry... and I guarantee you, you will hear of major world wide concerts from 'internet born bands' within 5 years.

Dude this thread is not about "Is the internet a good marketing tool for bands" that is fucking obvious.
If the fans don't pay for the music.... HELLLLOOOOOOooo
