I can see big problems...

I see big problems coming from this. Why if at a buck a song would would you rather buy on line? Im not supporting the RIAA but if youll be paying a $1 a song then there will be huge profits for whatever site they have the music on.
There will still be a middle man somewhere maby not the RIAAbut another money hungry organization.
There is still going be big problems.
I like my underground scene and not pop music

i much agree with you. just by having banner ads the site should make money. or a monthly subscription of 1 dollar would make this fly. not a buck a song.

Except in very rare cases, banner ads don't provide that much money. They certainly can't support a site all by themselves (unless the operating costs are very low). As for monthly subscriptions, even the legit online sites are moving away from this. They realized that people don't want to pay a site during a month when they don't download anything. (And you can't keep downloading every month without eventually running into a month when there's nothing you really want.) $1 a song sounds very reasonable to me.
