	robert_digital: WHOA FREE ALBUM
	SergeantYorke: not a single person has let me finish that sentence so far
	SergeantYorke: but still, with this decision we plan to make history and revolutionize music forever
	TheHalfBloodPrince: You know, I should remind you that I gave an album away for free a few months ago.
	SergeantYorke: was it purple rain or the black album or joshua tree
	TheHalfBloodPrince: No. And I didn't do Joshua Tree.
	SergeantYorke: all right then nobody cares about your ninety billion other albums that all sound like the year 1991 farting
	TheHalfBloodPrince: aw gee
	Sufjan_Succotash: are you sure you want to do this, dude? you could destroy the music industry forever
	SergeantYorke: pffft
	Sufjan_Succotash: look at it this way say your album's worth $20 but you give it away for free. it will knock down consumer expectations across the board
	Sufjan_Succotash: most albums printed these days are total crap so they'll be worth a negative amount of money. anyone who owns a jack johnson album will owe the IRS like 10 bucks
	SergeantYorke: well go grab a piccolo and write a song about how it relates to the simple but proud people of, like, wisconsin
	OnlineHost Radiohead has effectively released its album for free over the Internet.
	OnlineHost The music industry has been completely destroyed.
