I've seen much kerfuffle about this on social media. It's great that they're doing it but it's far from a new idea. US singer/songwriter David Rovics has been doing it successfully for years (his entire back catalogue is free to download), even going so far as to write a song called "Steal This MP3" (on his Meanwhile In Afghanistan album). I am sure there are other artists using the same model. This is higher profile I guess, hence the hubbub.

Still cool of course and I'm glad it's getting exposure, but I am a little surprised it's being hailed as some kind of revolutionary idea when it truthfully isn't.
