Lemme ask you this: could you imagine a music world without the record companies? The music landscape would be abysmal. Believe me, as a 5-year subscriber to Rolling Stone, I know a lot about music and there's really nothing out there worth listening to that hasn't been hand-picked for us and brought into our hands as reasonably-priced and hassel-free as possible through the promotional and distributional efforts of those people.
