I spose Moby is an EDM artist in the respect that he uses soft synths, electronic sound samples and did write a few techno/dance music classics back in the day, but your right, his music now is more alt rock/pop in terms of genre.
I don't actually know why people are bothering with digitl labels/releases apart from you get your name known to small number number of niche enthusiasts. It could i suppose end up in the hands of a proper label, but if it's good enough for that in the first place you're better off starting there and getting a decent deal to begin with.
It sounds like it sucks in the states - a mate here in London, who is just about known on the underground house scene - not famous by any means - puts stuff out on a respected but small label and is getting about £500 per release or 50% of sales as standard. and this is actually quite common over here. He's more known for being a DJ but makes very little for that and basically just tries to use the DJ'ing to get a bit of free travel to other countries.
