I don't believe this was an "experiment" by the band rather than the quickest, easiest way they could get their music to the world and their fans without sucking corporate record labels off.

They don't care about the money or the illegal downloads, they Just want to do things THEIR way, which they have every right and ability to do.]]>Oct 19th 2007 2:31PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/19/did-radioheads-experiment-fail/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/19/did-radioheads-experiment-fail/
1.7 million copies in a week, legal or illegal. OMG! You could not have asked for better numbers than that. I bet the conventional recording distribution industry is looking at this with fear in their eyes. Because every bit of the profits went straight to the artists. The only ones that are not quaking in their boots are the brick and mortar stores. They see a possible revitalization of high quality originals being brought to sale through non-traditional means. And not having to stock their stores with the crap that the regular distributors make them buy along with the stuff that sells.]]>Oct 19th 2007 2:50PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/19/did-radioheads-experiment-fail/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/19/did-radioheads-experiment-fail/
How much is enough? Who decides that? And what right does anyone have to decide that besides the artist themselves?

It's always easy to steal when no one is looking, but would you take a CD from a store shelf? Would you steal a CD from a box on the stage when the band is playing?

Better yet, how would you feel if someone took money out of YOUR paycheck saying, "Hey, you make enough money"... wouldn't be so easy to think that then, would it?]]>Oct 19th 2007 3:12PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/19/did-radioheads-experiment-fail/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/19/did-radioheads-experiment-fail/Jan 7th 2008 10:37AM
