IMO the legal landscape needs to change. Right now the internet service providers and telecommunication companies have nearly all the power and get nearly all the money. Some have already suggested they should be held directly responsible for internet piracy. They could also be made to pay content owners for their customers' streaming and/or downloads and required to collect those payments from their customers.
Your monthly Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile bill could include an extra charge for music streaming and downloads, as it does for general data and phone use. As I said, people want to pay one monthly bill for their electronic entertainment. They don't want to buy each piece of music (or movie, for that matter) from a different seller/content owner, as they did in the old days.
