"Mainstream" users want a more-selection, less expensive, just as fast variant of iTunes.  Frankly, I don't think an illegal filesharing site can scratch that itch and stay in business for long (I'm curious to see how long mulve.com lasts). @p{par}

If it could, I think a bitcoin-revenue-sharing business model would work well@p{--} "We'll give you 50% of the revenue from any downloads of stuff you upload"  (and "we" charge x-bitcoins-per-download). @p{par}

But I think even if such a service existed there would still be a bunch of people who refuse to pay a bit-penny for downloads.  But I agree with lfm@p{--} I think many of them would be willing to pay @p{(it}indirectly@p{it)} for downloads; you just have to tell them that they're paying for "X gigbytes of premium bandwidth" or something... @p{brk}
