The corruption of the musical industry by the ruling groups is a good example of different types of media being used for evil. How should the ideal government deal with this?

Music is my favorite art and while I enjoy learning more about it at the same time it makes me sad how it has been exploited by the ruling groups to such an extend. People tend to be overly judgemental when it comes to the type of music someone may like, but a lot of people only listen to the music that is currently being promoted by pop culture. You tend to hear the same 20 or so songs in the radio all the time and there is a certain set of memes associated with them and it amazes me how people just follow its values. It's a corruption and degeneracy of the art and hardly its true potential.

I think a healthy government should make use of it to promote the cultural values of the society it is a part of. It's a good way of keeping the cultural identity strong and inspire people to be creative and try it themselves.

Ban all music that glorifies the N word, watch how the BLM community breaks down into another racist mob of violence.

Good. Everything the "ruling groups" touch is corrupt and degenerate but not only in the music business, of course.

Government should do pretty much nothing to the music industry but (maybe) collect taxes from them

We already have laws in place to deal with it which aren't being enforced because the government has been corrupted by those same people. Nothing should ever be too big to fail. If any entity becomes so big that it's failure becomes a threat then it should immediately be broken up and regulated.

Monopolies should be broken up, instead the government is used to enforce them.

The music industry is the least of our problems. With modern technology anyone can self publish. The part that needs to be regulated is media. They have an effective monopoly on media and there are already laws against that. No person or group is allowed to own more that 7 media outlets. That is clearly not the case. No one should be allowed to own more than 25% of any media type in any market. Any collusion between media organizations should be treated as racketeering. For example the collective banning of certain people. That proves collusion and should be prosecuted.
