dude - fuck off. These guys are consciously making a decision to release this on their own (i.e. no major label use) and you can fucking pay 1 cent for the album download if you want.

From Bitchfork....

Radiohead will today leak/sell their seventh studio album, In Rainbows, offering it as a digital download for your choice of payment. It's a neat way to, as fellow Pitchforker Brian Howe has said, "devise a model where they meet the culture on its own terms, rather than trying to bully us back into an obsolete [one]."

Quit being a bully Soo.

You're obsolete.:D

yeah but you know, you could do them the big favour by linking to THEIR site, not rehosting it

[TrixX]

<3 downloaded it first thing this morning! radiohead is my only "shayna is gonna freak out" band ever!

seriously loving it!

re-hosting aside....i got the email this morning from the official site 'cause i'm a nut job.

pretty sure blake just wants to share it out to the masses......<3

p.s. NUDE is an OLLLLLLLD song....but has been redone fucking beautifully!!!!!! only heard a live version before!

likely it will be more like $60+ cause you know, they have to make up for lost revenue now that people like you don't feel the need to pay for their albums anymore :)

Anyway, the point is they're doing everything you pirating bitches wanted - it's released on their own terms with no middleman and the only thing asked is essentially a donation of whatever the fuck you want (i.e. one cent) and yet you're still spreading it around cause you're too cheap to donate? And you get mad when someone calls you on it?

I don't know if you can hear me up on your high horse but...

THE ALBUM IS FREE !1!!!!

GET IT !?

FREE !

PICK YOUR FUCKING BATTLES CHEESEHEAD !!!!!

[dabbler]

^^^ actually no it's not free. You are obviously expected to donate SOMETHING so that they can make some kind of money for their work

[dj_soo]

please tell me exactly where it's stated that the album is free?

just to re-iterate "payment of your choice" does not equal "no payment at all"

Where the price field is left blank and empty and it says...

"It's up to you" and "No, really. It's up to you"

So if it's up to me, it's free.

well I reloaded the site and this time actually saw the continue tab, which didn't load in 5 minutes the first time around.


I should say however, linking to their site also helps them track how many people download the album which is VERY important to ensure that this type of marketing continues. Blake -by linking directly to their site you are actually helping yourself by promoting this type of release, which in turn means more *free* albums for you

If that was the case, then you would have a 1cent minimum option.

Wouldn't you ?

But like it says.

"It's up to you."

[dj_soo]

OH HAY WHEN YOU LEAVE IT BLANK, CAN YOU STILL DOWNLOAD? OR HOW ABOUT PUTTING 0.00 IN THE PAYMENT TAB?

NO? THEN MAYBE THEY'RE EXPECTING AT LEAST SOMETHING?

I hear ya, I just ganked it off some random blog.

I don't think they're all that concerned with numbers to be honest.

Me thinx they foresaw billions of blogs spreadin' the album.

Pretty sure they're not too concerned about pennies.

THEY'RE RADIOBIGGESTBANDINTHEWORLDHEAD FFS !1!!!!

Don't worry, when I see Thom, I'll give him a quarter.:noworry:

[dj_soo]

I think the case being that if you think they're the best band in the world, wouldn't you give them the respect of steering people to their website and get the album the way they want it to be distributed?

I don't think they give a fuck as much as you do.

I think they just want the music to be free.

Like their fans.
