    it's not even a choice, at times. Here in Australia, a new CD can cost $30. For what? One good song? That's not my idea of a well-designed consumer product...

    I beg to differ, on multiple points. A revenue based on corporate branding and mainstream adoption would kill off nearly all non-pop artists. Sure, Sum41 and Beyonce would still rake in the cash - as thats what the populace likes to listen to (and thus what companies would want to form ties with.)

    But the bands that are a bit of a more acquired taste would be left in the dust by such a revenue stream. Modern jazz fusion groups, French skaa bands, etc.

    So while the rich bands would benefit, you'd eliminate 95% of all musical talent on the scene.
