As many of you know, Radiohead's latest release becomes available for download (from their site) today. However, some of you may not know that they are leaving the pricing up to you. That is, you pay what you think the download is worth. Don't believe me? Go to Radiohead's website and try to download the new album, In Rainbows. When you come to the pricing page you are faced with blank boxes. Click the little red question mark for an explanation and a very short, very uplifting message.
Is this the future of the music business? I doubt it, but a boy can dream. In the meantime, let's tell the industry what we think a fair price is.
