Having done ASCAP fee schedules, the fees would be based on the amount of plays you've done. And you can pay per month, quarter, or estimated listeners in your area (for things like radio and broadcast). This is *simple*, and stays completely above ground with respect to copyright and mechanical reproductions. And it also allows the creators remixing content to ALSO make money. The hardest part is the ContentID that google already has. So it'd be keeping track of copyright owners, and paying. Sure, non-monetized videos would have to pay to keep them up. That could be a bummer... But it could be a definite choice to do. Monetized videos could just be paid directly out of the monetization bucket.
