I think giving them away in newspapers/magazines/chinese takeaway menus is the way forward. The last 4 years for me works out as:
Planet Earth - Free with the Daily Bile Indigo Nights - £15 & included a free, glossy hotel brochure Lotusflow3r - Wasn't released in the UK, was only available on overpriced import, so is fair game to be downloaded as far as I'm concerned. Plus it came with 2 pretty coasters. 20Ten - Free with the Beano.
I really can't complain. Thanks yoda!

That pretty much sums it all up, and quite eloquently I might add!

I have to say, I'm feeling a little smug satisfaction reading these posts, particularly after I copped abuse for downloading Lotusflow3r because there was no Australian release.
Something about the shoe being on the other foot?

I have it on good authority the Mirror's circulation 'only' went up by 330K for that issue in England, so I wonder if they actually made a profit on distributing 20Ten.
Not that it concerns me if a newspaper makes a profit of course... just wondering if it might have an impact on future 'giveaways' ...

I found mine in my skip (I got renovators at the moment)
As for the method, well, the printing press has the most longevity of media and still going strong today.
It could almost be like going back to the 'dark ages', but hey, sometimes you have to take 1 step backward to move 2 steps forward...

"The Internet is dead." More like Prince is dead. Just because his Internet sites were a failure doesn't mean the Internet is dead. I'm glad he didn't release this thru iTunes because it would have tanked anyway. Heard it on the net anyway. This new album is DOA. No wonder it's free. He should pay me for listening to it. A step back-- many steps backwards-- from Lotusflower/MPLS. Wake up Prince! "Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."

It was pants first skip through. Second listen grew, third and fourth got some favorites but pretty bored with it already. But I am not bitching, I also have some excellent fire lighting material for my 65p. Happy is he who finds out the causes for things.Virgil (70-19 BC). Virgil was such a lying bastard! | |

actually i still have the MOS telly mag sealed and no cd inside, so it looks like the whole thing was sealed with a cd and then the mags in another bag. nice and environmentally friendly to suit an album called planet earth | |

What is your point!!! Do you not understand that he got paid upfront just as he would have from a traditional record company and not at all if he worked with ITUNES.

Like some German and Austrian fans I today bought the German "Rolling Stone"- I for myself in Vienna, Austria at a local newsstand for 7 Euro 50 Cent. The method is good: the CD is cheaper than normal CDs availabe in the record stores, but these method is only working for artists who aren´t interested in money. And nowadays... The internet is not dead: just think of all these sites for commercial and other purposes it is used for(love, sex, shopping, communication), with all it´s (positive and negative) consequences for the users.
