last100: Comedian Hofstetter experiments with pay-what-you-want — and provides numbers

    [QUOTE] He currently is averaging about $6 an album, including freeloaders. That’s more than triple what his royalty would be if this we released by a label. [QUOTE]

    Wow...hopefully this type of billing/payment method will be used more in the future. Why should all these record labels profit insanely from the true talents in the industry?

    nice to see the money actually going to the talent

    As an independent artist, I think this is absolutely great. He's getting $6 per album? WOW!! Think of the poor record company exec, who will have to send his brood to college on his OWN STEAM. How sad....NOT

    Thanks for furthering the example of do-it-yourself. It inspires me to do the same.

    I think this is awsome, I see some records in HMV or cd stores that are priced at 19.95 and I think wow why wouldent I just go torrent it. But for some one like this I would deffenitly pay at least 6 bucks or the 9.95 because its not some money grubbing corperation, in some sense I almost feel its a personal transaction based on the fact that he is trusting you to decied what he is worth to you! Awsome
