Now this, this I wouldn't mind. My big problem is contributing to the RIAA, not the artists.

A new idea has been introduced to try to get P2P users to pay a small flat fee in exchange for legally being allowed to share and download other sharer's music. The fee would be voluntary and would directly to the artists.
Some musicians have been asked about this and they think it's a good idea, and a few have said they encourage sharing anyway. The RIAA however is firmly against this idea.

Not really. They'd start the program just as a way of tracking "pirates", then conveniently forget to grant licenses for the downloaded music and sue everyone who pays the five bucks.
