I found what you all were waiting for, proof! Well here it is, black and white, pixel on screen, the donation model has been adopted before. Thanks to Joe who sent me this link and here a quote:
Radiohead is offering the entire album in through their website and fans can pay whatever amount they want to digitally download it. This donation-style system is significant because of Radiohead’s reputation and the size of their fanbase, which easily reaches into the millions globally.
So to all the Cattos and Captops out there, who feel humoured my my advice and net-knowledge, read that link and make up your own mind!
And since people will know that this site only makes money via donations they will treat it differently and come back, i.e. I enhanced my traffic because of my business model!

I have to admit I think your donation model for your company is brilliant and I’ve admitted to that in previous comments. It’s just really good to see other famous people learning from the experience of people like yourself.
My R250 cheque should be at your address tomorrow as I couried it to you. Please let me know what we do from here.
I agree with Joe, where do we send our cheques? You sound like a wise young man beyond his years – I tried a couple of your tips, and yes, maybe they haven’t worked yet I still believe in them. You an inspiration – how does R750 sound?
Make it R7500. Let’s not be cheap here, people.
Bolton, I’m willing to donate R750 000 for your advice, tips, programmes, talks, packages, solutions, tools and even your leftover braai chops from last week. You seem to have your head screwed on absolutely perfectly and quite frankly I don’t see how I can afford NOT to allow you to guide me with my future net-site endevours.
Mr. Branson please send all cheques to my postal address found on my contact page. I think you’ve made a wise decision.
