Such a scenario would only be feasible if artists do it only for the love of it; without getting into the business to mint money. But the industry is also made of a lot of other players of which the companies who contract the artists are the most important link between the artist and the general public. Though with the rise in internet Technologies, an artist can publish his works, be it a musical work or a video - Online. Thus making the recording company redundant. Such a scenario can also allow the artists to earn in terms of advertisement income through a software like AdManager etc. Thus the popularity of the artist will result in more people tuning into his/her work that is published online which in turn will result in higher revenues through ad clicks.
