These days you can use youtube, google, slashdot and almost anything to advertise what you are doing. I am sure anyone who would just have enough devotion can bring something to offer the same way as radiohead has now done (look for the star wreck guys for an example), thus it only depends on your imagination and courage; to achieve your dreams you just have to be clever and invent new ways to get what you want -- surely nothing works forever the same way, the world changes all the time and thus we gotta be changing. Change is a mark of being alive, being stuck means that you are dead.
I appreciate what radiohead has now done, they are showing the way. Recording industry _might_ have been a good thing for us from 50s to probably 80s, but now they are more like slowing down the development of everything else. By sueing any potential customer they might have, they actually bring their customers against them, that's certainly not the way to go. When you bury others, you bury yourself.
Everything that's alive is in constant move, things that are dead are still -- the "modern" recording industry has been stuck for many decades now. The 70s were happy years -- of course the future can bring us something happy too -- but you must not remain still, we have to always keep our eyes open for changes, because that's what happiness is all about; enjoying the little changes that are happening all around us, the beauty of every day!
