Honestly, I'm not sure how this thread even went this direction.
The MPAA and RIAA and RIAA and all other variations have shown constantly that they refused to step into the digital age.
They just don't give a flying fuck about trying to change or adopt.
Finally, a band takes a monumental fucking risk - in an attempt to kick some sense into the industry.
Yes, Radiohead have a fanbase, etc, blah - but it's all irrelevant - they stood up, posed their nuts, and released their album online, for free. Doesn't matter how rich or famous they were, they were making the decision to release their latest works for potentially $0.
It's obviously not the best marketting scheme, and I'm sure they make no pretenses about it, but fuck, it's something.
Be glad artists are doing SOMETHING. GFY appalls me most of the time.
