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 never said the current system was perfect or that IP didn’t have problems that are frequently abused (including building monopolies and wrestling rights away from creators)
I just said the counterpoint being pitched has some flaws that I don’t think stand up to practice and included some processes that I think would be part of how it falls apart
