I think the current YouTube system is pretty good. YouTube detects you are using copyrighted music, and the copyright owner can choose to block it or allow it but gets the money for the ads. Most of them seem to be choosing the second.

That argument has been used for about 4 decades now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists and yet corporations still contribute huge amounts of code to free and open-source projects. e.g. http://www.linuxfoundation.org/news-media/announcements/2012...

You're talking to an audience where the average person has a Github account and loves FOSS.
