You're closer than you think!
A few years back, at the urging of the record industry, the Candian government was all set to introduce an "anticopying fee" of $5 per blank CD. They only backed down a few weeks before the announced start date when the public threatened a revolt, and have continued to threaten its re-introduction.
Greedy bunts!!!

I've been advocating this for years. The only way to continue to allow unlimited downloading of all media is to charge at the source and distribute the income to the various industries as royalties.
Then you can still download all ya want. And the creators won't continue to get screwed.
