    You don’t need to give up the rights to your music to a third party for them to do marketing or handling legal matters for you. You just need to pay them for their services. And you should be able to choose from several competitors in the market, based on what they offer and what you want/need/can afford. So yeah, record labels shouldn’t exist anymore.

      It’s not needed, but for some reason artists keep signing, so there is probably something they provide that makes it worth it

        It’s because it’s the only game in town.
