You're describing a perfect hippy storm that doesn't even exist.

Imagine if we somehow invented a way to perfectly synthesize gold. Your're the guy screaming we should still pay the price of gold even though it's easy to obtain. Just doesn't make sense.

Recorded music has been a commodity for about 90 years. A POPULAR commodity for less than that. And a major commodity for probly only about 60 years. It's no longer valuable cause it's easy to duplicate and share.

There are no moral considerations in this evolution.

Music no longer has the same impact on trends in popular culture. That change is around 10 years old and growing. Music used to dictate or forecast pop culture...now it REACTS to it. Reason why? Because recorded music is not a viable commodity anymore.
