How about this as a model for not cutting the artist out completely...
a) Artist distributes music for free...
b) Music becomes very popular...
c) Artist performs live concerts in packed stadiums and rakes in the money.
d) Former gatekeepers find something upbuilding to do with there lives.
e) Lawyers figure out that suing ones and zeros becomes a dead end career
path.
f) Encryption is used to protect personal privacy rather than desperate
monopolies.
g) People actually become creative.
