TIME (2007) 10/16

62-63/ RADIOHEAD, very popular rock group is doing something radical. They are offering

their new CD to whatever the buyer will pay. That means if you want it free, you get it.

If you believe that it warrants a certain amount of money and want the system to drive down prices, you pay half as much or a bit more. The money you pay mainly goes to the band, not the

record company. Usually, the CD company takes most of the profit. On a $15 dollar CD,

the band gets between 25 cents and 50 cents. However, all concert dates since the announcement of their new CD, all concert dates are sold out, some paying 5 times the value of the ticket.
