It just shows how incompetent the RIAA is. They're so happy with all the money they're making right now that they fail to see that a system like the one you describe would actually work. An American-based AllOfMP3 that was actually backed by the RIAA, or, at least, the artists themselves, would be quite successful. I don't know about you, but I'd rather pay $2.50 for an album than spend an entire day downloading it from eMule or BitTorrent.
