I think there are more options. We're discussing some of them
here . For example, downloads could be tracked if the right kind of protocol were developed, and fees could be paid to creators by a
copyright collective (a.k.a. collection agency or collection socieity), which could be funded by a fee per download using a new protocol designed to support legal file sharing, or an internet tax, etc.
