Define amazing. Much (if not most) of my favorite music has been long out of print. In fact, that's true of many of my favorite books. As for movies, yes, Avatar 3D was truly amazing, but in the last decade I've enjoyed far more indie releases than Hollywood blockbusters. Amazing is qualitative, not quantitative, and highly subjective. The article itself describes a video that many people found to be amazing (including me), yet it was made on a low budget without any support from the record label.
Thanks to the Internet, I've been able to hear some amazing music again after decades of being unobtainable. If those artists released some interesting new material and/or started touring again, I'd even consider seeing a show. I don't care if they have a label or not, and frankly, I'll be happy to hear them in the small venues they'll inevitably play in instead of huge arenas. I see that as an all-around win for music & musicians, as opposed to letting labels be the arbiters of taste and the ultimate gatekeepers.
