And I also dont understand why anyone would WANT to be signed by a big label anyways - slavery seems preferable from what I see they do.
Just get yourself a decent website and a Paypal account.
Offer your stuff @ low-bitrate quality and accept donations.
Ignore what Radiohead did - they got it wron, but look at what Trent Reznor did with the last NIN release Ghosts - sold out of the 2500 Limited edition sets @ $300/each in 3 days - and all going to him/them (minus production costs)
That is, I feel, the future of music distribution, give it away, but sell "premium" products.
Bands should make their living from performing/touring, not sitting on their backsides moaning about how "piracy" is hurting them (Metallica - I'm looking at you)

Jeez, get off the soap box. People who come marching along and bang the DRM drum are just those who aren't willing to cough up and pay for what someone else has produced.
