Have to strongly disagree !
You can cover a turd in chocolate but its still a chocolate covered turd.
I can forgive a bad recording if the music is good. I can't give any respect for well produced track with no 'musical' content.
Back to the subject of assignment of rights to 'labels' - we really have come full circle with the old methods of record deals being made and labels promoting tracks and artists using promotion, ads and marketing as they always did. The simple truth being that the net is flooded with average and below par tracks all competing for sales and recognition. The only way to stand out form the crowd is with high end expensive promotion and placement.. something that can only be obtained with the help of a label and backing of money and experience.
100% of nothing is 0. 50% of something is better. It makes total sense and its the only way it can realistically work.
