Broadband and Radiohead have made record labels irrelevant

The same way Pearl Jam and the Internet made Ticketmaster irrelevant.

Very different situations.

Performances require a PHYSICAL VENUE that someone is going to own. That owner is going to have a contract with TIcketmaster, and if you ( the band) don't have your own venue, you're going to have to deal with them.

Downloading and listening to music requires NO ONE between the band and the listener.

I guarantee that if there was some way that bands could carry their own arena around with them, Ticketmaster would have some problems.
