Current new models like freemium and pay what you want point the way, but we really need to re-invent how we sell content in this new world of infinite replication. Selling apps was just a flash in the pan, with no basis in reality.

As an example of the kind of radical re-thinking that is needed, consider the new view of commerce I have been suggesting called FairPay or Value2Me, that deeply exploits Internet economics and relationhip feedback. This treats content as an experience good, and makes prices correspond to individually perceived Value2Me.
