Then how do artist get paid? Simple, taxes. Everyone pays an "art tax" and artist get paid in proportion to how popular their music/movie is. Each time you play a song you increased that artists revenue. Of course barriers to cheating would have to be implemented.
With a system like this there would be no incentive to "cheat", since copying would be perfectly legal and the tax would be as easy or difficult to evade as any other tax. No extra "barriers" would be needed.
