THE ALBUM IS MERELY AN EXCUSE TO TOUR and that is typically where the average band is gonna get paid - technically they are still in debt to the label until the album reaches a sales benchmark (and most don't). and unless you're in the mega-stratosphere of Madonna or Michael Jackson and you get royalties for publishing, and commercial licensing, etc, Joe Average Band is tasked with sourcing all manner of paid opportunities to capitalize off the "advertising" that the label fronts you with an album release (appearances, endorsements, tour schwag). i only mention that to point out Radiohead's experiment may be another tactic out of indentured servitude for artists...Prince and Starbucks and many others are pointing towards rebellious options. and isn't it time that pop music got rebellious again?AKI SYSTEMS 2600https://www.blogger.com/profile/16411937975418594170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20733865.post-25700524709525957192007-10-11T14:26:00.000-05:002007-10-11T14:26:00.000-05:00Totally agree.

I'm a total cheapass, but there's no way I'd snake a copy of this album without sending Radiohead some cash. More like a show of support than actually trying to fund their next venture. Free iTunes download wouldn't get that out of me. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment.salinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16244691341082611238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20733865.post-16974756629903242572007-10-11T13:10:00.000-05:002007-10-11T13:10:00.000-05:00I doubt Apple would have an issue with these guys ...I doubt Apple would have an issue with these guys distributing the album through Itunes for free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
