In my ideal world...

...I would like to pay the artist directly for the entertainment they have given me. I propose an honesty system where you can pay the artist (via an escrow agency) a standard donation that would fairly represent the value of the entertainment I've received AND adequately recompense the artist for the good work they've done.
Once paid they could send me an autographed album cover with cool a Official Supporter certificate on it (or something equally silly/neat)

The thing most people forget is that we generally want the little guy to do OK and the big guy to remember who put them there - us little guys! The net should let us get closer to the source NOT put things in our way..
