Power To the People... Pay Whatever The Hell You Want For Music... and Magazines... and What Else?

Then Saul Williams follows the new Radiohead model and offers his album as a free download on his site. [read here]

Now Paste magazine has ads posted everywhere asking people to subscribe to their magazine for whatever they want to pay. [read here]

What the hell is happening!?

This gives new meaning to the phrase "Power to the people."

Will this really help music? Magazines? What's next? I hope airlines start asking people to set their own flight prices!
