Was anyone else watching that yesturday?
I was pretty cool, but I don't think it helped much in finding a sweetspot between the people that download most if not all of their music and the RIAA and those that buy tons of CDs.
My solution would go something like...
Internet P2P would be the same as MTV or the Radio, good for publicity but you don't make tons of money off of it.
Instead the artists would make most (or a large portion of their income) by doing live tours. They'd also have to make sure the tour was really awesome so tons of people would want to attend, market it so that people 'will have a night to remember' because of the awesomeness of the show/performance. Nothing can replace that. (Well... maybe true virtual reality will but that's a whole other subject.)
