Here is my vision. Artists are already being paid for their content. In fact, I met with a gentleman at Ericsson, over in Europe. Most people don't realize that usually, for the IP-blocking services for BitTorrent, most people are paying 10 Euros or $10 to block their IP so that they can use BitTorrent. That far outstrips the amount of money they would have made on the content that people are downloading.
People are already paying $10 a month for the content.
