It's been done and over for almost 30 years. Whatever damage it did to the music industry and the culture, we've fully realized by now. Laws that force fast food restaurants to put calories on fast food menus are annoying too, but we'll survive and I'll still get my burgers and fries.

The caloric content of food isn't arbitrary, it's measured by a process that can be independently performed by anyone with the right equipment and get the same result. There's no similar process for deciding if artistic content is appropriate.
