I love this line of reasoning, and it works fine. If you are Radiohead or some other well established band.

But what of the small band, with little to no exposure OTHER than their website. How do they get any traction, they are just one more act in the Long Tail of bands that I might like, but with no record label promoting them then more thought needs to be given (by such bands, not by me) on how easy it is for people to find their music.

Interesting though, and I’ll be downloading the album and paying… £10 probably. I’ve never had a problem paying £10 for a new album, it’s the £13-14 and more, that annoyed me.
