Make it a place where you eat every day, and it will be a failure.

Make it a place where you take your girlfriend on payday, and it will be a total success.

It totally depends on context.

Also: "Radiohead makes most of its income by touring, so even if they lose money on the album, but get more popular, they can just go on tour." is false and misleading.

Radiohead makes money if the average price paid is more than the average bandwidth and hosting price. And hosting is very cheap nowadays.

Very true. And if they choose to use Bittorrent, it becomes even cheaper.
