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?
Why need darkweb when you have stuff like bandcamp? Or release directly to streaming service, lots of indies does it this way today. It’s better because artist get to keep their copyright and without label company telling them what trend they need to follow.
