One indie band, Officer Roseland, has decided to go against the grain and actually pay fans $1 to download their latest album, My Stimulus Package.
The band claims to already have over 1000 downloaders take them up on their offer. Upon arriving at the band’s site, www.mystimuluspackage.org, fans can choose to either take the dollar as a paypal payment or donate it to The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, a charity of the group’s choice.
With all the talk about music piracy issues and artists not making any money from album sales, this is definitely an interesting change of pace. Didn’t think anything could beat free album downloads, did you?
Here’s a short video from one of the band members:
