I think that if you modified the code that runs http://www.advogato.org/ you could have a peer baised ratings system that would be close to what you are looking for... you would just need to change some of the verbage so people make associations on style, genere.
The diary sections and peer voting sections of the site would need little change. The site could help people find music they like... help people find other musicians to play with... and maybe put a dent in the "Industries" marketshare.
I understand that the trust metric of advogato is GPL and if I understand it correctly (it has been awhile since I used the site) You could use a similar method for rating styles of music. It would take a bit of hacking but I think it might be a worhy project.
I'm all for private donations.. and will make some when I get some free funds on my credit cards.. But I'd much prefer to see larger orginizations, read gas companies, step in. Their preemtive price gouging becuase demand will go up because of this should be making them enough money to help out the victims.
Why dont they just use one of the MANY assinine fees or taxes they have hidden into there many odd taxes and fee schedules and give that to the victems....
I dont know if I would threaten anyone who was Deeply involved with the Evil that is (or can i safely say was(please?)) Novell....

Well even if the topic is misleading at least we can all rejoice that when we clicked on the pictures link we didn't have to actually see pictures of the REAL Bill Gates! I think we have all had enough of him!
Zonk could have put Bill's ugly mug on the icon on the start page... if thats within his power;)
