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?
Copyright rules cannot be made “fairer” (whatever that might mean) in a small place. The big players would simply steal the work and make their profit from it.
If you want to change copyright, you need to start in the biggest places, that is, many countries together.
