The early Elvis and Beatles would have been in trouble no doubt.

And guys like Fats Domino, who made WAY more money off of the royalties from Pat Boone's covers than he did off his own sales in the early years, and Chuck Berry, who would have never gone mainstream if the genre remained walled off, would have been eventually wound up playing small clubs for chump change.
