Also they are an established band I doubt some nobodies could do this.

How do you get that they'd have paid nothing if the label had put up the money to record? The first thing the company does once the money starts rolling in is to recoup that cost out of the artist's share. They essential loan the band the money to record the band pays it back upon release. Radiohead doesn't really NEED their money to record, and with a means of distribution like this...there's really no need for a record label, which is their point in all this. The old school record industry are dinosaurs on their way to extinction.
