I think Radiohead has proven that the artists can live without the RIAA. With the release of their recent album, they did a "name your own price" to download it, no record label or DRM attached. It is estimated that they made upwards to $10M in doing so!
Although I don't know if the "name your own price" concept would work long term, bands with who already have a name for themselves can profit greatly at this model. It is the new "no name" bands that would struggle IMO.
