If you're as famous as those guys just about anything you do will make  
money.  It doesn't mean that model will work for everyone.

I hear Radiohead is doing a more conventional release for their next  
album, after flirting with the "pay whatever you want" model for their  
last one.  I suspect they're finding out what many observers predicted  
-- that people will pay once on the honor system for something like  
that, but after that they feel entitled and will just take the next  
one for free.
