i don't think labels are going to disappear. it's still far too pricey to get a solid hi-fi recording on your home system. unless you think you can amass the pile of gear reznor has collected over the last few years without having enjoyed some commercial success.
do you really think radiohead and trent reznor would have made millions with online only releases had they not enjoyed some commercial success in the past to establish a large scale fanbase? would they have had the studio capabilities necessary to make their last albums sound as good as they do?
i really don't think major labels will disappear so much as splinter back into the smaller labels they once were to serve their local markets better. someone will still have to provide funding for a new band to record something that sounds better than a 4-track in a garage (not that there's anything wrong with that).
