What if someone started a real underground music label on the dark web. Bitcoin only, no banks, no streaming and no middlemen. Artists could drop music, earn for say 5 or 10 years, then the rights go to the public domain. No corporate ownership, no lifetime contracts.
Could a label like that actually work?
I just wonder what music culture looks like if you strip out banks, ads, and algorithms entirely. Not saying crypto fixes it, just that it changes who holds the keys.
