My friend Andrew did this with an EP he recorded this summer---100% online distribution, pay what you want. I never did ask him how many people paid, and I didn't really have the best statistics on how many downloads were done. Ah me. But that said, yes, the online distribution is far cheaper than the physical distribution [by orders of magnitude], and 20% return on a traditional labor deal would be fantastic.

In general I would be happier knowing more of my money went to the artist than to the label, so I hope this sort of thing catches on. Good album too! I paid about $7.50 for it.
