A World Wide Entity, who's in charge to catalog every single content piece, be it a book, a movie, a intracelebral experience...
Consumers get those via sharing, by download, by mail, by buying hardcopies (paying a higher price) in the shops...
They pay for it with a fee, that can be a on time in life fee, a recurring one, a tax, whatever.
Whenever he access a content, a user agree to give a feedback on it (or to make the present receiver give a feedback). That feedback consist in a rating.
The Entity in charge just collect the feedbacks from the users. And compensate the authors according to the number of users and the rating obtained.
If you've got a high quality file freely available (and if you've got at least one legal content, you've paid for everything), you won't be interested in piracy.
And if you really like a work, you will give high rating to compensate the author and make him/her produce more.
If the system have a upper limit on the income for the single content, there's enough money for every author.
