About this Radiohead thing...

So, all over NPR this morning, I heard a lot about how innovative the band was being. Yes, it is interesting that they are selling their latest album directly to fans via download. And it is also cool that buyers get to choose what they are going to pay.

But all I could think of was, isn't this more or less what shareware has been, for like, ever?

I've also been reading in a few places that Radiohead are not the first major band to have done this. Then again, I didn't recognize the other band names. I suppose that says something. Hmm.
