well, the thing is most artists have no problem with giving music away for free. Because it's not like any artists makes money selling music. They're more likely to make money by playing live and collecting their rights. Labels used to take some money away from artists for "promotion", well guess what "promotion" now is pretty much free.
The only person who doesn't realise that is Lily Allen (because she's not an artists and had no concept of what's like to need money to continue working herself).
The most annoying thing of all is that you'll see more and more artists supporting brands, those ridiculous annoying logos everywhere, and music being sold to soap operas and adverts.
Not like it hasn't been done before tho.
Labels made sense when recording was very very expensive. Artists wanted labels so they could record, now they don't need to subject themselves to their exploitation anymore.
