A while ago I covered the story of Radiohead, who wanted to free themselves from the evil clutches of record labels and the abominable empire of the music industry by releasing their album In Rainbows for free, leaving the choice to the people: pay as much as you want. The result of that experiments was apparently quite satisfactory, although
some people paid, many others did not.

I don't even put a link here. Everybody is talking about this. For those of you who don't know

Radiohead's new album, In Rainbows, costs whatever you want to pay. 1cent, $1,000, you decide. And without a record company.

This will change music history forever. It's about people giving money to artists for their work, for their music, because they believe in them, and you pay the artist, directly, for whatever you think it's worth. This is no news, but the fact that Radiohead is doing changes everything.
