    The who? And what about foriegn bands (distribution)...like Rammstein, although its still hard to find all their albums in the U.S.
    What about them? The internet is global, you don't need record companies for online distribution.

    Hmmmm...good point, I guess sometimes I'm old fashion and would like to buy the actual CDs and albums. Still, to me, it seems hard to become popular/famous from just the intarnet world; but possible.

    Don't worry, I know it's difficult to get your head round, but albums and CDs are obsolete too :

    Do you think so? They still seem very popular on file-sharing networks.

    Old habits die hard

    For the artists as well as the audience.

    In the future, artists will just record a song, and then "release" it to the audience, almost immediately. There isn't the need anymore to have them record a collection of 10 or more songs in one go, and then release them as a package. There isn't the need anymore to wait 2-3 years for new material to be made available.

    There also isn't the need anymore to buy a whole album just because you like one or two songs on it.

    The band resisted signing to a major record label, even banning talent scouts from gigs. Eventually, the band signed to independent record label Domino Records,
    The saw the light evidently.
