Why do you need companies to push you anything? All kinds of good shit's out there now.

Fuck all that. We live in a world where you can have a direct line between the band and the listener.

I still buy CD's, but the new RobeDoor isn't exactly being pushed by Sony. I buy it for/from the people who actually sat there for a day and a half assembling 500 of the goddamn things and put their thumb print on it.
I also only purchase from indie labels/shops.
Boo, Hiss.

I see what you're going for there, but it's just a meaningless tautology. Piracy isn't going to put an end to shitty labels and concerns about DRM and digital distribution aren't going to lead to better contracts.

Unfortunately, more than 80% of music sales come from CDs, and the general public doesn't really care about starving artists. And too many big artists are making enough money to not stand up and tell the record labels to fuck off.
HEY ASSHOLES CHANGE TAKES TIME OK? This industry is not going to survive. These labels are no longer needed. Do your part and change happens even sooner.
Yes, but CD sales are plumeting.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
No handle, no identity.
It'll survive the same way the american auto industry has, with legislation and government support.
