There was a special promo at Amazon offerring the entire Wait For Me album for $3.99, which comes out to $0.25 per song. One assumes that Amazon was able to make that sort of offer only with Moby or his label's blessing. Bet they moved a lot of digits at that price point. I bought the album myself.
There is a price point out there where the law-abiding many will actually purchase digital music if it is also convenient. Amazon and Moby got the balance just about right. But alas, if you go to Amazon today, it costs $8.99. Too bad it wasn't the permanent price point. It would have made a good statement.
