How would one determine the real market rate for a song in the first place? In an ephemeral streaming context, a market seems like it would be nigh impossible to implement. "I bid $.02 for an hour of streaming music, only play me songs that are under that"?

The same way they do now when there is no compulsory license: the publisher negotiates the value of songs with the streaming service up front.

  That doesn't sound particularly free. That sounds like monopolies dealing with each other.

    There are dozens of publishers and dozens of streaming services.
