Unless you've been living under a rock for the past two weeks you've probably heard about how Radiohead has decided to release it's album through the internet AND allow the fans to name the price which they think is fair. This is the first time in years that I've actually wanted to support an artist by giving them my money unfortunately the website being used for distribution is poorly designed and there were reports last night that it went down for a time. I doubt that this will revolutionize the music industry but maybe it's a step in the right direction? Check out this discussion on a piracy site regarding the relative merits of paying for the album vs. stealing it.
