well there are two (or three) opinions right now
1. music indrustry and all around it was created by God (altho there are vast number of gods, bethoven, hendrix, elvis, zappa, the beatles, malmsteen...etc wich are mostly non-compatibile) and it was basicly always like that you have described. of course today is P2P yesterday it was cassete but ya get the point. it will end up in complete soon to be noisegeddon and only the really talented and honest and inovative musicians, producers and alike will live forever with their work imprinted on universe. the rest will be forgotten in the hell of myspace. (or the similar stories). there are number of different books about this you can read and belive in.
2. music industry slowly evolved from silence and primitive sounds, musicianship, teqniques, equipment and financing practices to this very state it is in right now. there are no gods and it got here by itself and its still slowly evolving to who knows what. its is self adapting to enviorment changes and vast amount of tech fossils and old music recordings prove that theory (on elcassetes, dats, minidiscs, LPs, etc).
3. (kinda) its all an illusion and there is no music, and no music industry, and no real musicians or real mixing or mastering engs, and we are all just posting on some kind of so called "jules internet forum" of some sort and its simply not real and it could end any minute. but only very small number of ppl really go with this one so it could be discarded as highly improbable.

Where will the industry eventually end up?
Where do you think it SHOULD end up?

i dunno. it seems its up to gods if you belive or it will evolve no matter what i or you think or belive "it should do".
(hope this helps altho i think it doesnt have anything to do with mastering and should be moved)
