What would an analogous solution form Music look like?
Concerts.
If creating the recording becomes cheap enough (and if you're skilled you can make an (almost) professional level recording these days with a few rental mic's and pre-amps and a laptop. Then perhaps we could reach a point where bands would be willing to give away the recordings if they make it back up on the road.
Hardest part here is that the labels also handle all the upfront costs of marketing a band and its music. This is the area where I'd try to innovate if I were a music startup.
