Some acts like Radiohead and Prince have recently bypassed labels - and the tremendous cut of profits they typically take - altogether.

But the third wave of marathon runners behind them had it even worse: By then, emergency crews and empty water cups made finishing the race almost impossible. Brian Hayes, 36, of Springfield, Illinois, first noticed something wrong at the water station at mile number four (water stops are placed every two miles along the route), where he was told he was "too late" to get water.
