If some of my friends read this post, they will say, 'Enough with Girl Talk!'But I'll continue anyway...
Girl Talk is a mash-up artist out of Pittsburgh, P.A., who quit his job as a biomedical engineer to pursue his music career. Although he is highly criticized for his constant digital sampling, he argues that his music is protected by the Fair Use laws that allow him to put limited amounts of copyrighted material into his own works.
A couple years ago Girl Talk released his latest album called "Feed the Animals" under the record label Illegal Art. Fans had the option to download the album for free from the record label's Web site, or they could pay however much they thought the product was worth. Fans who paid $10 or more would receive a hard copy of the album in the mail. For true fans, it's not a bad trade.
I guess Radiohead beat him to the idea.
