Would something like this work? The musician when he wants to record an album goes to a recording company and signs a contract, the difference being that he is allowed to dictate the number of years the recording company owns his/her music (negotiations would ensue). At the end of this time, the music ownership reverts back to the musician. They can renew the contract, or take their money and music and run.
