We're breaking down one of the boldest pricing experiments in music history, Radiohead's "In Rainbows" pay-what-you-want release. 

We're breaking down the dilemma they faced, the insight behind the move they made, how they executed it, what the science says about why people pay when they don't have to, and exactly how you apply this to your business.
