Amie Street has a very innovative, artist-friendly sales model. When musicians first submit a track, it can be downloaded for free. As it becomes popular, its purchase price rises. Both of Ashley Alexendre Dupré’s songs (she’s the former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer’s “special friend”) are now selling at the site’s maximum price — 98 cents each.

According to Joshua Boltuch, one of the co-founders of Amie Street, “Move ya Body” rose to its 98-cent price tag faster than any other song in Amie Street’s year and a half history. Dupré posted the song early on Thursday morning. Within five hours it was at the maximum price. While Amie street didn’t say how many that was it does suggest a rapid rise.

There is a lot that one can learn from a government sex scandal.
