Could Google buy the music industry?

Interesting article here: Why Google Should Buy The Recording Industry

the music industry is economically quite small and unimportant compared to the computer industry. And yet somehow -- through honed lobbying and old boy networks -- it wields a disproportionate power that enables it to block innovative ideas that the online world wants to try.

After that, Google could buy Spotify, then we'd be all set. I like the idea of paying for music like a utility, I wonder how well it would work in practice.
