I seem to recall a "stop the MPAA" gif that floated around the internet when 2600 was being sued for distributing DeCSS. The gif had the DeCSS tarball embedded in the file past the EOF marker.
There are plenty of record labels that are not a part of the RIAA.
In fact, here are all the labels under RIAA's umbrella. http://www.riaa.com/about/members/defau lt.asp
Many of them were created as a rebellion against huge labels, even before the huge antisharing debacle.
I, for one, pay no attention to Billboard's top ten list and I attend about a show per month. I usually buy CDs directly from the artist at their tables and they usually cost me no more than $10. The shows are small venue and they tend to be more intimate.
When my radio is on, it is always tuned to NPR. Somehow, I keep hearing about new music and I keep going to shows.
The usual process I use to buy a cd starts with someone asking me if I've heard of band X or their new album. I then find some music off their website. Then I see if they are touring. When they come around, I go see them, buy their CD, and if I really like them buy a shirt for $10. Then I tell my friends to check out the CD.
The mainstream music model and the underground music model have become mutually independent. The model you discuss is outdated. Just listen to "Dinosaurs will die" by NoFX.
