How can anyone say that they would pay per track, I mean is ridiculous. This means if you were willing to pay 25 cents a track you would only have to pay $1.25 for Chemical Brothers 'Brothers Gonna Work it Out, but if you wanted to buy White Stripes 'White Blood Cells' I'd have to pay $4.00. The thing is The Chemical Brothers albulm is longer. There is no way music industry could have a flat rate, the price of the track would have to be based on the length of the song.
In Germany every movie is dubbed and the Germans are quite used to it so why would this be any different. Many actors go to dubbing school and for the big screen movies they do a really great job. So in my opion it will not ruin the movie.
From living in the US I know this would never work there but I've been living in Germany for the last year and I think it could work. The Germans are very differant when it comes to money. They don't really use credit cards, they don't buy stuff unless they have the money first. My mobil phone that I bought in Germany works on the same princapal, when my phone doesn't work I can just go to about any store and buy a prepaid (about $25) phone card and re-activate my phone. I think pre-paid internet money is a better idea that spending money we don't have.
