I am on both sides. For 2 reasons, I am a musician and I hate labels.
1. Signed acts generally make all of the coin on CDs and merch. You usually end up breaking even on touring or end up owing $$. So piracy in the long run ends up hurting signed acts that are not that established.
2. I hate the F-in industry and want to see it go down. I have seen them rip me and friends off, chew people up and spit them out with no concern other than the $$. We are starting to see what can be achieved by the actions of such bands as Radiohead and NIN ( but those guys have the cash to drop their labels). Hopefully it will be a growing trend.
