Sick Puppies? Maldroid? You've proven my point.Show me a touring, national act (other than the one I mentioned) that's a household name without the help of record labels. Nada.The point is that the RIAA has lost its grip on distribution, but it still has a chokehold on promotion. Thus, they still monopolize the path to true fame as an artist.
