I think his point is that in the past, most musicians never got paid. Now no musicians ever get paid. We've traded a horrible, unequal, corrupt system for compensating artists for no system for compensating artists.

"Compensate" always seems like an odd word to use for paying someone to do what they presumably enjoy. To me "compensate" primarily means giving someone money/something in exchange for loss or inconvenience you've caused them. Is that not the meaning you're using? Personally, I suggest "pay", as in "no system for paying artists".
