No - what they’re asking for is how it already works with music streaming services. Where there’s no monopoly.
You can choose basically any streaming service and you get basically every recording ever published.
Music streaming services largely “work” because of how centralized all the record labels are. It is not a true monopoly but it has almost all of the same downsides. Independent artists/“smaller labels” more or less have to work tooth and nail to get themselves added to the various catalogs… often with considerably worse royalties.
Spend some time researching “spotify alternatives”. Spotify, Apple, and Youtube all basically have the same catalog because they are the big three. There are slight differences, but none that most people care about. But once you start looking at that french service people like or other smaller services, you have MASSIVE gaps in the catalog.
Which… is not too dissimilar from netflix/hulu/whatever. Those have more “exclusives” but you still have those bread and butter shows and movies that everyone has in their catalog. Or even in the video game space where gamepass/playstation plus are pretty similar.
