guess this could also go in the Nerdry

QUOTE (cmac @ Oct 5 2007, 12:54 PM)  radiohead is giving their new album away. or you can pay what you think it's worth. I am all for this type of thinking. I am the type who would pay $20-30 for an album if I felt it was really good. Or if I find some great little software app that I really like and use all the time, and the person has a paypal donate link, I'll throw $5-10 their way. I just don't think that someone should feel they have to give their stuff away. |

I just don't think that someone should feel they have to give their stuff away. I never said they should. I wouldn't have a problem paying for an album either if I knew all or even most of the proceeds would go to the artist. But the problem is that the artist only gets a little bit of the money they make off of an album. Besides that, this is the internet age. If artists want to sell their music, they can do it themselves.
