Não sei porque insistem

em pegar em exemplo pontuais de artistas conhecidos que utilizam as novas plataformas de distribuíção de forma diferente da habitual e logo mostrar isso como solução alguma para um novo modelo de negócio... acho que a noticia seguinte diz tudo:

Radiohead's "groundbreaking" decision to let fans choose what
price to pay for 160 Kbps MP3s of "In Rainbows" was just a promotional tactic to
boost CD sales, according to the band’s management.If we didn’t believe that
when people hear the music they will want to buy the CD, then we wouldn’t do
what we are doing,’ Bryce Edge of Courtyard Management told Music Week, the UK’s industry magazine. Link to Idolatr item, via Warren Ellis. Meanwhile, over at
Wired's music blog, Eliot Van Buskirk is tracking down the sales numbers.
Nothing definitive yet, but estimates are that the act pulled in $6-$10 million
on initial sales.The Seminal estimates that Radiohead sold about $10
million-worth of albums as of 10/12, assuming that their source was correct that
approximately 1.2 million people downloaded the album from the site, and that
the average price paid per album was $8 (we heard that number too, but also
heard that a later, more accurate average was $5, which would result in $6
million in revenue instead).
