I think that was what Grooveshark (claimed to) try to be. It didn't work out. It was banned in a lot of places and had a lot of lawsuits from record labels.

I am not talking about a concept for a company, I'm talking about revised ethics to inform revised laws which could perhaps enable what you seem to describe Grooveshark as.

I think the DMCA experiment has gone on long enough and it's time to try to mitigate the negative results of it through a different approach.
