Hell, if the music industry ran Pirate Bay themselves and profited from having higher quality ads on there, you would have something a little closer to the radio experience (ignoring ability to choose what you wanted). People would be seeing/hearing ads as they explored new music, as well as buying limited edition products, physical releases, concert tickets, t-shirts and other merch.

Problem is, the big players are hanging on to the cliff edge by their fingernails, rather than locking into the harness at the bottom ready to start their climb.
