Should be left up to a band to decide if they think giving their recorded music away and making money on tour and merchandising is a better business model. Not for you as a consumer to decide that is the way they should make their money.

The "Radiohead" model is by far the best way to make money at music. Give the tracks away for free, if they're good they will spread like viruses through music fans and those fans will buy the packaged album with the cool liner notes and such, as well as shirts, concert tickets, etc etc etc. Hopefully the music makes it into advertising because that is where the real money is.
Give the tracks for non-commerical use away for free, and if the tracks are any good, money will come.
Its not like it still costs 20K to make production quality tracks.
