A person can have a hit song without a major label, but there is a big difference between having one hit song and being a superstar.
so you saying that the record industry should have a right to destroy the only chance that those independents have because they have a strangle hold on the old media.

If anything that a reason to leave sites like the pirate bay and mega upload alone.
