Of the people that did fork over some cash, the average price paid was about $6. Nearly 1.2 million people downloaded the album -- do the math; that's a total of $2.736 mil.
That's not nearly as much as they would have made selling the album normally, but then again, they don't have to pay a record label any dues. Radiohead, stickin' it to the man!

You mean paying back the record label the cost of producing the album and distrubuting it in the first place? How dare they ask for re-imbersement! How much of Radioheads own money went into producing the album? As I said with a label they would have paid NOTHING. So you need to take that into account.
Also they are an established band I doubt some nobodies could do this.
