there is nothing today a record company can do for an artist, from development to distribution, that the artist can't do for themselves, and better with less interference and more control.

A good point, Jack Spratts. But nothing will change if we, the consumer, do not act against this media comglomerates in the public discouse to. P2P is in svere danger, and this campaign is only the beginning of an braod offensive, wich can mean easily the end for all P2P networks. The next big step will be the prosecution of P2P-Users, which has been announced by an DoJ official and has already begun in Danmark.
A first step in a counterattac could be a massive consumer boycott-campaign agianst certain artists like Britney Spears, Shakira, etc. wich has announced their hostility to the internet.
