well, all it takes are companies who wish to pay around 20 cents so that the artist gets 10 cents per download, the rest would go to site hosting and in my pocket...

I'd say it's quite expensive, but I might argue that since you know pretty much who's gonna download what, you are sure that the money you invest is not wasted... Anyone here owns a company??

Also, the idea is not totally mine, I came up with it when I read an article that Ron thal wrote, where he said let the music be free, just count the downloading, and pay it thanks to advertisement on the radio and on the site of download.
