I particularly like this aspect of it:

Another option is to include foreign artists and authors but cut the
payment down to 1/10 when their coutries do not join in reciprocal
cooperation. Imagine telling an author, "You have received $50 from
Brazil's sharing license levy. If your country had a similar sharing
license levy and made a reciprocal agreement with Brazil, you would
have received $500 from Brazil just now, plus the amount from your own
country."

One big question that pirates get asked is "But how will artists get
paid?" A scheme like this could be a big part of the answer.
