I think it would. Mass culture will always have something to pacify themselves with...McDonalds, James Bond, Star Wars Episode III, Romanace Novels, SUV's...I just like to see them struggling right now. When things like Mariah Carey happen to EMI - I love it. The major entertainment industry have shot themselves in the foot. The introduction of DVD's and CD's (digital information) is great for bootleggers.

Uh, this really doesn't answer Joseph's question.
Composers & performers releasing their own recordings doesn't address the same functions as major record companies do.
You may not like some or all of the functions these companies serve (I know I don't), but independent labels do not and can not serve the same functions. And these functions are so intrinsic to mass culture in the world as it is, that "self released music" alone won't change much of anything. -- Herb Levy P O Box 9369 Fort Worth, TX 76147
