Media NIN Makes over $1.5 Million on “Free” Record, Iron Maiden Hops on the Bandwagon

While precious little has been revealed about Radiohead’s success with the donation-suggested model, Nine Inch Nails’ recent experiment has proven quite successful. Despite no marketing and no label, the donation-suggested 36-track album netted the artist a stunning $1,619,420 US.
Meanwhile, Maiden is going to release their new “best of” album for free too. Only their release will self-destruct after three listens, in which case you’ll have to pay for a download if you want to keep listening to it. NME has the full story.
there isn't really anything free about the nine inch nails album - there is a concrete pricing structure in place. only the first nine tracks are free.
