I also didn't mention large corporations.
Soundcloud currently has 175 million active contributing members. Bandcamp has over 2,000 music labels.
For $100 I can set up a bedroom recording studio - as long as non-virtual instruments aren't included. The upload/download speeds for digital music is no longer a hurdle for either the artist or the listener.
My only point is that it's a ****ing hard career these days to try and make a living.
Hell, it was hard enough back in 1981 when I gave it up and went with Plan B.
