Why would anyone want to start a music startup when the bulk of the most popular music is controlled by a few very unpleasant companies?
Let's you say to started up a company tomorrow that looked ready to put the labels out of business and make a zillion trillion dollars giving everyone exactly the music that they wanted, no less and no more. Ask yourself, would the labels go to Congress to get a law passed that made your company illegal? And the answer you get to that question is "yes". And then the second question is, would Congress give them that law? And the answer to that question is also "yes".
Unless your startup can be fully successful without ever touching a single commercial song, it's doomed before it starts. Only an idiot would throw money or time down that rabbithole.
