Hans, the problem is that most value in music is in the marketing! The reason people buy so many Limp Bizkit records is the label/distributor made them a big name. There are *tons* of bands on mp3.com right now that are unsigned and offer songs for download for cheap, but no one bothers trying them out because they haven't heard of them. Look at what gnotella searches return and it is primarily major label music - not because it's the best music but it's the music people want. The marketing elevates the band.
