Diversification in the music industry

REM are releasing (purchaseable) typefaces that have been used on their last few albums. Presumably this is a reflection of the way in which the music industry is required to change in the online age. Whilst Radiohead have used all sorts of alternative business models to generate revenue (regular touring, with huge gigs; new distribution methods for music), I haven't heard of anyone else selling typefaces.

What does this mean?
