embracing the free market

Well, not exactly, but close enough. Jane Siberry has opted for self-determined pricing on her digital downloads. That means downloaders pay whatever they wish for the MP3s, starting with nothing. So far, 17% of downloaders have freeloaded, 8% of payers have paid less than the suggested price and average payment is $1.14 per track (vs. the $0.99 suggested price).
