May have hurt mainstream artists, I agree that its been tremendous for indie bands. And best part is, an indie band can now manage themselves and do just fine, rather than sign a bad contract w/a record company who is only going to force you to change their sound. So many good bands have gone horribly bad once record companies forced them to change their sound to something more marketable. OAR is actually a classic example of that.

This is ****ing horeshit.
Do "just fine"? You mean, as in travel in a piece of shit van making $300 a night to sell 2,000 copies of a poorly produced CD?
Give me a ****ing break.
