I'm sure that if you asked the RIAA, they say they represent the label AND artist (and us), because they claim that without the label to pay a very select few artists $$$, all musicians would pack up shop and never play another note.
Of course, that's not true. Check

Everyone's probably seen this, but if you have't it's worth reading. Steve Albini wrote an article breaking down where the money goes when you buy a CD.
Check it out.
