Louis ck used a good solution. You just paid and downloaded the thing directly. The problem is the intermediary. People don't want to give money to labels. It's a little like buying food to your local producer. I guess even Bandcamp makes money. Consumers would rather pirate than see a fraction of their money land on some accountant desk for copyright management. Content is easily copiable, and did someone to live on their content doesn't require a high price. In the digital age i don't see how an album could cost more than $5, or even $1 or $2 if you're not a full time artist. Louie CK made millions that way, I agree that he was already popular though. Just let people set their price (Radiohead did that), and advertise that method on a clean torrent, I'm sure people would pay.
