    A few things came to mind

    Radiohead - In rainbows - where you could download the album for free. They didn't have to use a Record company to put the album out

    Spotify - Not having to own a copy of a record to legally be able to listen to it - Still not licensed for most countries

    To a lesser thought - The Beatles finally going on iTunes 09 09 09 :p

    The record companies haven't changed, that's part of the problem. :)
