they said pay what you want.

and people did.

I would say the plan worked perfectly.

all i know is when i was young i remeber how it worked for me.. I got an allowance , on the weekend we would go to the mall and get records/tapes. IF when i had got there my friend said " hey don't buy that i have the cd for free right here" , i would have simply bought a radiohead t-shirt instead.

So while cd sales might be down merchandise could be way up.
