Like I said, if you sign on to a label, you're selling your art for money, so that is selling out. Not as much as abandoning your principles but still, its the artistic equivalent of prostitution.

In the future people wont even have to sign on to a label to sell records, and not only that, they won't even have to sell records if all they want is people to listen to their music. In Rainbows is a sign of this.
