I’ve read that many artists are by-passing the Record Labels and producing on their own. Am I wrong?

The Internet is a fantastic medium for distribution, but copyrights get little murky. Just look at what's going on with Twitch and their on-again-off-again DMCA takedowns of streamers who play copyrighted music. It's insanely frustrating and can bring a streamer's revenue to zero quickly if they're "DMCA'd."

I'd love to see the DMCA repealed and rewritten. It's a cluster.

I know nothing of DMCA. I'll check it out. The reason this is interest to me is that over the years SO many good bands have refused to sign on with greedy executives of Record Labels and many have missed their music. I've downloaded some Southern Rock music and it's as good as many of the old days, like Skynard, 48 Special, etc.

They have their own producers and just put it out there. Also, heard some Rock artists that mixed things up with an original sound.
