    In a way, I don't think we even need record companies anymore. I mean with the advent of youtube, vimeo and any other streaming site for audio and video the artist can upload their music directly to the public, who needs a record company helping them get their name out? And since the artist makes most of their monies selling tickets to their concerts and merchandise they will still get paid. The audio engineer will still get paid b/c the artist will go directly to the studio bypassing the middle greedy man.

    While I am sure there are flaws in my scenario, the point is that if the record companies can't change with the time then the should burn off and die.
