with services like cdbaby (who are signed on to spotify), independent artists can get pretty direct access to consumers, its only one separation from artists directly controlling their own distribution. to be fair its been like that for a while with cdbaby and itunes, lets hope we start seeing a larger throughput of artists "go it alone" now that this is all in place, or maybe we were wrong about the labels (and the artists) all along.
