this way of selling music would decrease artists dependence on record labels, which is a good thing, as the labels can collect up to 80% of the profits of a cd you buy at a store, which is clearly bs

i think a lot of people would be reasonable with their donations if there was a extremely easy and quick way to submit the cash (like a tip jar)
