There is an industry that directly prices information, but it's not music or Wikipedia. In fact it's not very popular. It's the finance industry. Financial instruments are made of information, and their value changes directly in response to new information.

Also, can I just point out that a library of all the world's music is definitely not available for $10 a month? For $10 a month you get access mostly to the western popular music whose labels have done deals with that particular streaming service. Big difference, usually.
