Donateware for artists

Something just occurred to me. Why don't music artists accept donations for their music.
I mean I can't honestly say I always pay for the music I listen to *cough* but if I happened to really like something, I'd be happy to cough up some cash for it.

I mean sticking donate buttons on music sites and.. well, all over place actually, could be an decent additional revenue stream for musicians.

If you happen to read this in 2008, please drop me a comment and say what you think of this fantastic idea. ;)
