Record labels

Today I read a great article from the Music Business Journal about record labels trying to survive and how the JOBS act may just be able to help. Will the JOBS act really help? I want to look deeper into this idea because record labels have always been the source for artist development and in my opinion mean a great deal to the music world. Although there are some artists that make it on there own through self promotion and such on the internet the percentage of success is still much lower then that of an artist that is backed by a record label.                             http://www.examiner.com/article/artistic-integrity-and-the-new-music-business-a-match-made-heaven- This was a very interesting article peace and has got me thinking deeper then before! there seems to be a very fragile side to this whole new business thing!
