other notes:
music and videos would all be public domain so they can be rebroadcast by whoever and live venues could all have music stations that just play previous performances from there. creates a true local radio? has tons of crap in it? that’s okay cause you can still filter for rebroadcast but whole history will be online as well so if you do want to dig back you can.
this keeps bands focused on live performance itself. that is where the real value is delivered. make the recordings so easy to get that the performance becomes more valuable? better feedback loop with audience?
