Radiohead new album: price up to you

Quote:
An Album That Costs What You Want It To

The members of Radiohead, the respected British rock act, said that the band would sell its new album, at least initially, exclusively as a digital download and allow fans to decide how much to pay for it, if anything. In a statement yesterday, the band said it had begun taking orders for the album, “In Rainbows,” which will be available beginning Oct. 10.

In Radiohead’s plan, fans will choose their own price for the digital version of the 10-song “In Rainbows,” which it said would be sold as a download without copy restriction software, known as digital-rights management. In effect, the band is asking fans to establish a monetary value for music, even when widespread piracy means that it would be available free.

What do you think about Radiohead’s plan to distribute their album?

This might make the band more money, then if they went through the traditional method of sale. Though I would assume that not every band can pull this off, but I've already ordered and paid $7.

I should order it, but I like to buy the actual CD because my computer likes to bite the dust about once a semester or so. Will it not be available in stores?
