I sounds like a good way to get musicians involved in the distribution end of the business, and it's possible that they'd be smart enough to set prices based on popularity and demand. Earning $.50 per song is better than they get paid for CD sales. Still though, I would hope that if I paid for a song then at least 90% of the sale would go to the artist, not just 50%. Some users will get creative and start advertizing songs for sale, the system will be flooded with A&R guys scrambling to get their 20% cut. On the other hand, it's the ultimate leech control tool.
