A New Approach to Copying Online Music
Mark Nutter devised a new way to copy music from the Net that may make everyone happy, including the musicians and their producers. It's sort of a pay on demand model for music. He suggests you only have to pay for the music you want and nothing more. Basically, it means paying only for the music you like and sending some money to the artist that created that music so they can make more music.

"whereas I can count the number of DVDs and CDs I own on two hands. I didn't consider it stealing when I borrowed one of his CDs to listen to, even though I hadn't technically paid for the right." Just a Nutter Blog (May 24)

Let the fans of a certain band pay for the music from that band and let the money go directly to the band itself. At first I thought this sounds a lot like the system we already have for buying music online. You pay a dollar, you get a song. But what he's proposing is something more direct. Pay the artist directly. Maybe even ahead of time.

Let's say you like a certain music artist and you want them to make more music. You would pay them money, when they get enough money, they produce the music and you get a copy.

What do you think of Mark Nutter's proposal?
