This is fine for pop music where there is a strong emphasis on touring, but how do you expect (eg) classical composers or producers of electronic music to earn money under this model?
I think a donation model is more likely when it comes to non-pop music to be honest; the devout fans of artists/bands are unlikely to feel comfortable continually leeching material without rewarding the creator.

Films will need to make their money at the cinema (where the experience of going will need to be emphasised).

Similarly, this is fine for mainstream hollywood films but how do you expect art-cinema to survive under this model where there is less emphasis on premieres and having a large number of cinemas in showing films during their first X months?
