It's a cool idea, but I think the biggest thing that leads to piracy is not that people don't want to pay for stuff, it's friction.
I think another model should be tested potentially alongside (they're not incompatible) is just a topup system. Which kind of exists already, but it could be marketed as a feature.
I don't want to make 100 $1 payments, I just want to budget for entertainment and spend as I go.
An ecash based system would work perfectly and it probably would just be buying songs and albums like using Amazon Movies.
Just spitballin'.
