That's a good point. The only problem is, things don't really get big anymore. I mean there's always the odd Kanye West, etc. But, generally, we have an industry that pushes for a very select few huge acts, a few hundred proxy acts they can cycle through weekly, and millions who just get screwed.
A lot of the choice to not sign to a label is economical as many self produced, self recorded, self managed bands have flourished. Even if they don't flourish, they take home a much larger percentage of the profit.
