Hail to the Thief!

Check this out.

Radiohead is the best. This will really open a whole can of worms for a lot of people. This is like the Pandora's Box in the world of music, and even the world of selling content. You are given a choice to pay or not, and if one wants to pay, one chooses how much value one assigns to a particular content. I bet this would break the door wide open on the whole music business. Hail Radiohead!

commentary from a music industry analyst:

"This is big news. This says the major labels are fucked. Untrustworthy with a worthless business model. Radiohead doesn’t seem to care if the music is free. Not that they believe it will be. Because believers will give you ALL THEIR MONEY!

This is the industry’s worst nightmare. Superstar band, THE superstar band, forging ahead by its own wits. Proving that others can too. And they will.

This is what happens when you sell twenty dollar CDs with one good track and sue your customers for trading P2P. This is what happens when you believe you’re ENTITLED to your business. This is what happens when music is a second-class citizen only interested in the bottom line."
