I don't see how Ethereum or any "digital currency" solve the real world problems that will still exist. Sure, the big players in the recording industry can treat artists badly. But a service is provided, which is doing all business and marking side of things that most artists don't want to bother about.
The idea of recording companies will still exist. Maybe somehow the big incumbents get caught out by the change to a "digital economy", but all that will happen is new ones will appear, and will end up doing exactly the same as the old ones.
Digital distribution was supposed to free artists from record companies. Now it is consolidated to a few large companies like Spotify and Apple because musicians don't want to run and market their own digital store front.
