What are the benefits of being able to download music, minus the thought of piracy? Like what can society benefit from music being readily available online?

It will filter out garbage, it will reach people faster and because of this people will be able to decide quicker, and it will expand horizons because of the variety available, now you can sample music the world over, and with bills like the DMCA it's exactly what the doctor ordered.
Its also a pilot program for what future generations will come to know as the "net". It will also reshape corperate attitudes, as new schemes will have to be devised (I love capitalisim) instead of the usual barter system.
And remember its not piracy its backlash.
