> Imagine iTunes with tons of small label-run channels one could subscribe to for a monthly fee, and get access to all the music within? This is happening on Bandcamp already. A smaller label called Jade Tree put their entire catalog up there and as a fan of the label it was awesome to see them do this. Back to your point with labels, they do benefit the artist despite it seeming like they don't. While 360 deals may be worse for the artist the labels provide them with a recording studio, mixer, producer, distribution, endless supply of industry contacts, merchandising companies, etc.
