The Biggest Album Release of All Time...

I guess U2 had to get it, Minkwelder.

Frank Zappa released Lother album free to public via radio broadcast to show his independency from the record companies that tried to screw him up. Every artist has a right to perform their own music regardless of contracts with recording companies. Free album distribution via iTunes will only uplift their rating(regardless what anyone here thinks about U2 likes-dislikes or similar opinions) and increase size of their audiences when they book a tour. From the artist standpoint, when everyone's sharing digital files legally and illegally it's a smart choice and as I mentioned before, they're not the first and not the last to make that move.
