| the band - album paradigm has radically changed- for artists in the top tier- their income is mostly derived from touring and licensing- to do free albums endears them to their fan communities which sells performance tickets- and physical product- It is a good will builder ultimately- I would not at all be surprised if Trent said to use the money saved to buy some young artists cd.
A cool and mature thing for him to do...
