Have you seen http://www.ektoplazm.com/ http://www.ektoplazm.com/ ? It's a free music label. There's no obvious monetization strategy and it's hundreds of albums worth of independently produced electronic music, some of it quite good, all available for download at full quality. Perhaps it's just so so cheap to produce music that people give it away for free? Maybe they just do it to get a higher profile, so they can get DJ gigs, or they just love the music?

People like making stuff and putting it up. Witness DeviantArt, which is >90% unspeakable shit the perpetrators of which should have their hands cut off to stop them abusing pencils ever again, with a small percentage of actually goddamn brilliant artists whose presence justifies the whole enterprise. (COI: I'm shacked up with one of said decent artists.)
