This approach is a possible solution for a non privacy intrusive
flatrate model. But none, that the right holders will accept since the
danger is pretty high, that their share of the cake will decrase. Maybe
in other countries this differs, but in germany the right holders
organiation (GEMA) does a pretty clever redistribution from all artists
to a fewer subset of majors.
