IMO Music and movies should be free, it simply isn't because of all the money that was thought to be made back in the day and now we have laws against getting things for free. I never pay to listen to music on the radio, at clubs, on Pandora; because other people do. So why would I pay to download it myself to listen to it a few more times?
Just ask for artists/directors(?) to sell using name your price; or to download for free. That way the people who want to pay can, and artists and directors get what they "deserve". There are some movies I would pay more to see than others, but I would never want to pay 20+ dollars for a hard copy of a movie anyway. I'm sorry if your movie costs 3Million dollars to make, if I'm never going to watch it ever again I don't want to pay more than a dollar for that single viewing.
They just need single-stream vouchers for movies you can buy for a buck or two, you get home and use a code online; you get to watch it once and then it expires. The people who want higher-quality Dvd's or bluray can still go pay for it.
Times are changing and companies are realizing this. DvD's are cheaper than they used to be, excluding blu-ray and a lot of the artists I listen to offer their music via name your price; because they understand people are going to pirate their music if they want to / don't have the money. He doesn't care as long as his music gets around, and people don't claim it to be THEIR music.
Video games.. Just need to be cheaper so people don't feel robbed when they buy a 60.00$ game that was a piece of shit. That's what Gamefly's for though, but hopefully game companies will catch on too. I think they feel almighty and powerful being a harder market for pirating; at least for consoles. People still do it but I rather not play console just because the games cost so much.. anything under 20 dollars at gamestop is probably only good for a few hours..
