I don't think $0 would be fair or appropriate... There is definitely a factor of musicianship involved within this album that has value beyond just a couple of digitally-rendered audio files. True, it might not be worth as much as you would like it to be, but I liken it to a band playing in a venue with an entrance fee. The fact that the band is playing there and you don't like it, doesn't change the fact that you have to earn the right to gain access to the venue in the first place, namely by paying the entrance fee. After you've done that, and you've determined that the band sucks, then you have the choice to ignore the band's subsequent performances and you can have a say by voicing your opinions on the band, or by spreading word on the band's quality. But it would be unfair and detrimental to the artist and to art in general, to pay $0, just because you can... You owe them at least 6-8 bucks, which would be the price you'd pay for a self-pressed CD sold by hand by a local garage indie band...
