But seeing as Trent Reznor and NIN have released an album (Ghosts I-IV) into the wild, wild, internets, for a minimal deposit $5 US, or free, I think I will be listening to them soon.
I might even go and get Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust by Saul Williams, which I had never heard of, but soon will listen to.
Plus I may hang out on http://magnatune.com/ and see what they have available.
There is a lot of stuff said about Internet distribution, and while a lot of people say they would buy stuff if it was reasonably priced, not many people appear to. 18% of the people paid for Saul's album. Only a small percentage paid for Radioheads Internet release, although it only achieved a small amount per album, they made more than they have on any other album. NIN has also sold out of 300$ Ultra-edition copies of the new album, to the tune of $750,000 worth of income.
So, if dial up allows me to spend time getting the music, he will also have $5 of my money.
