For music there are already similar mechanisms in place in many countries - in Poland it's ZAiKS, in US it's ASCAP. They collect fees from organisations playing copyrighted music publicly.

(I agree that it would be terrible if they began enforcing other copyrighted content and for training purposes, because it would lead to centralisation)

They're the worst, eg they will notoriously come after you if you play public domain music as well.
