Lots of news lately about Radio­head offer­ing its newest album as a down­load (choose your own price). Saul Williams and Trent Reznor decided to do the same with their new album. They’ve made a lot of head­lines, though Issa (Jane Siberry) has offered self-determined pric­ing for her music for some time. We’ve been offer­ing our music online in down­load options of free or pur­chasable as high qual­ity MP3/Ogg for­mats or phys­i­cal CD for the last five years. I’m sure many other artists have offered their work this way but the method is get­ting large-scale atten­tion and, it seems, acceptance.
