>To me the most important question is why do new musicians go to the labels at all?
For the same reason people would rather release an app in the Apple app store than on the WWW: exposure. Someone with an insane amount of talent will make less money than a mediocre performer backed by a media blitz from the music industry. I'll leave examples up to others to come up with.

What's this "radio" thing you speak of? I'm 40, and I haven't listened to the radio in years. My kids (14 and 17) have hardly ever utilized the radio and have no problem keeping up with pop music.
