Digging into the site though it isn't really an adequate replacement since I don't really see anywhere to purchase and download the music files -- just streaming rights.

Their goal is always going to be to either get bought out by the big fish, or join them.
What we need are artist cooperatives. If the platform itself is owned by the artits, it can't be sold out from underneath them.

Was looking for this last week, and stumbled upon it in an unrelated article I was just reading.

If Facebook et al are forced to set up 200+ operations all running under different legal frameworks they might loose the efficiency advantage of being in a centralized space versus pivoting towards a protocol-orientated approach. And if a couple big players (EU, etc.) force that protocol to be open and interop?
