Peter,

While I agree with your kvetching, there is one thing that seems to 
perhaps mitigate the issue a bit: the artist's web site.

eg:
http://www.britneyspears.com/
http://www.dixiechicks.com/
http://www.judycollins.com/
and then, for example, we can have fans, like me, do this:
http://www.richardhess.com/judy/index2.htm
(which I'll admit to not keeping up to date completely)

It goes on...

But other than this, I think your points are all very well taken.

Cheers,

Richard
