Fred von Lohmann on P2P and paying musicians

The Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Fred von Lohmann wrote a pretty good viewpoint at The Daily Princetonian, commenting on suing P2P users for downloading music:

“There is a better way.The problem is not P2P file sharing. In fact, file sharing is a remarkable innovation that has enabled a worldwide community of music fans to build the greatest library of recorded music in the history of the world.

The problem is that artists are not getting paid. It is time to address the problem.”

Although I don’t agree with his proposed blanket solution, I do agree something needs to be done so the artists get paid. What do you think?
