It can't solve the problem of getting artists compensated because Americans do not value music. You yourself even expressed your own opinion of the lack of music's value. This is the fundamental reason why we've allowed Spotify to pocket 99% of the total value of music. If Americans valued music and the musicians that labor to make it more, they would care about artist compensation. But they don't, trusting the 'free' market to do it for them.
