Fifteen years ago, Indie music wasn't respected either.
But as the internet provided it with a method of wider distribution, and hosting sites with user rating mechanisms provided for identification of better performances, it bulldozed its way to respectability in spite of the best efforts of the RIAA and their battalion of lawyers.
Remember the well funded RIAA suit against the original MP3.com? That was an Indie site, not a Napster clone. Losing that suit sealed the RIAA,s eventual doom. They no longer get all the new artists.
