@Old_Honky, the devil is in the details. How do you divide up the money? Per download? Per track?

Per download - probably estimated.

How do you divide up money between a classical symphony (lots of performers) and a solo track.

Exactly the same way as they do now with CDs.

Do we run parallel schemes for films and books?

Yes each governing body in each country would be responsible for administrating their country's share of the worldwide revenue to the registered copyright holders.

It would be relatively simple to impose such a scheme when compared to the alternatives which involve using legal action to try to enforce unenforceable laws.
