For me, and knowing that normal supply side economics have little to no bearing in the digital realm, the only economic model we have left seems to be gift economics. As in my earlier busker analogy, culture becomes free in all instances, you may enjoy, share, change and modify that culture (giving props along the way) and the audience then sets any monetary price they deem worthwhile. Nobody gets rich, but then again, a lot more people might make a living along the way.
