I sayeth:
It already exists! There are tons of websites out there that feature this kind of thing, for everybody from the songwriter with 4 track to a band with a pro mastered CD. I think the problem is time. The A&R people who are the ones out there looking for the next hit artist and/or next hit song do not and/or will not take the time to do the research on the WWW. D/L times are too long and there is a lot of crap out there that will not cut the mustard. Another thing is, IMHO, those A&R people do not just want what THEY think sounds great, they want what will sell, something that a lot of people like, that is why they usually only consider solicited material.
I am confused about what you call "all the legal stuff" You do own the music you create and can sell or give it away as you wish. It's not until you sign a deal giving someone else ownership that you run into those problems, and ASCAP is not a bad thing, they are there to make sure YOU get paid if your music is used...
Then again, what do I know? I sniff way too much rubber cleaner!
