But if you're independent and unknown, how would you get more than your mom to download your album from your equally as unknown site?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And even if a band did get some minimal traction, I'm thinking they'd still scrap this model at the first sign of a record deal. But, at the same time, I've heard record deals can be pretty bad from the standpoint of the artist.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I guess the question is, how much traffic / downloads / pay would you need as an artist to stick with this model over the traditional? I'm assuming there's no one right answer; it varies widely.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Bob Caswell</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 08 Nov 2007 06:45:34 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Results of Radiohead Experiment: 38% of Downloaders Pay an Average of $6</title><link>http://bobcaswell.com/2007/11/06/results-of-radiohead-experiment-38-of-downloaders-pay-an-average-of-6/#comment-1187064</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; the artist gets at least some money.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Logan</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 07 Nov 2007 21:37:18 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
