Derek is a perfect example, having given his Mockingbird album away for free and founding Noisetrade, where people can tell their friends about artists in exchange for downloads or pay what they feel is appropriate. It's not that record labels don't help promote and distribute music/artists, but it's becoming increasingly obvious that artists can be successful without them thanks to forms of digital distribution (iTunes/Amazon/Lala to name a few) and just the word of mouth (or tweet) regarding artists people enjoy and care about. I have no idea whether or not Derek is really unable to release his album but honestly I've become more excited about this than a lot of other new albums I've heard about recently.
