Radiohead Effectively Solves Internet Music Theft
By Giving away their new album for free. That’s right: the latest release from that band with the lead singer that always sounds like he’s crying can be yours for the price of zero dollars (plus all applicable internet service charges). Their new album, IN RAINBOWS/ (or IN RAIN_BOWS or IN/RAINBOWS, depending on which of their pretentious arthouse spellings you want to buy into) will be available from their website starting October 10th on a donation basis. And yes, that donation can be anywhere from one cent to a generous three dollars. Hell, after Hail to the Thief, why not make it three fifty?
