If someone at the RIAA had this kind of foresight and genius, they wouldn't be the hated institution that they are today, I may have bought a CD that wasn't from an independent label in the past few years, and a lot of people who don't own computers might actually have the money to buy 'em.
Soderbergh's ideas may never be implemented simply because the film industry could likely do exactly what the RIAA did and refuse to believe the fact that their days of easy money are simply over. Either way, I deeply admire people who are lucid enough to suggest new strategy when they see that the end is nigh.
