Which part of what I've said are you suggesting is wrong? That digital sales are saving the industry? That the internet has given all artists the ability to sell globally, instantly and build up their own fan base? That the decline in sales of physical media is going down because the Big Five fucked over fans for years forcing them to buy the same content on different formats over and over?
Pick a point I've made and make a counterpoint. Don't just say I'm wrong and then throw up some straw men.

Alternatively artists now have a free distribution medium that allows them to sell their product directly, to anyone, anywhere in the world.

What's your point? That streaming payouts are less than itunes? You're right. Who is suggesting otherwise? Do you know how much an artists gets from a sale of a CD? About 6%. What a fucking rip off!
Did you know an artist only has to sell 143 self pressed CDs at 9.99 to make monthly minimum wage in the US?
