Do superstars still need record labels?

my hopes are that the artists will form an alliance online skip all the middle men offer their music for free and reap the big rewards on tour or maybe sell them along with concert tickets or something brand new.
 
I believe the record labels are going to disappear once the artists realize they can make more money through internet sales. This way the artists will actually earn more by skipping the middle shark. Music prices will go down and a bunch of money hungry anuses are going to be looking for another job.

I believe the labels take advantage of artists and this might bring them back to reality.
 
I don't think you will see record labels disappear, simply because mid-level bands still need the support and resources they provide.

Artists who are bypassing labels can afford too, because they have the support already set up. But a hot, up and coming band does not have the marketing, touring and recording support and resources to be successful with a label.

I also do not think you will see artist going to exclusive internet sales. People still want to have that disc in their hands and on their shelves. Hi-tech audiophiles know that there is no format in computer based music that can compare to the quality of a CD.
 
Sorry Patrick I have to argue with you this time.Your saying CD Quality is better than vinyl or even 8 Track?
 
Well, I personally prefer a wind up phonograph, but most prefer CD, lol.
