We can say that John Locke was indie, when he posted his first book on the Kindle store, and then the work started sliding up the mainstream curve.

This is simply absurd. Independent (in publishing) is an author without a publishing deal with a publishing house. If he is self-publishing, he is independent, regardless of how many books he has sold.
"The Blair Witch Project" was an independent film. As was "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." How well they did at the box office doesn't play into whether they were independent or not.
