I read Rolling Stone this morning, some musicians are loving the move Radiohead made here (BTW - It's a 160k bitrate). Some people think it only worked because it's Radiohead.

Dunno. I dig.

I think band patronage is a good thing and it could help other new bands.

I wonder if the new label will try and sue people for the digital copies they bought?

That's actually part of the "anti" argument. The claim is that only a larger, established, mostly live band like Radiohead could have the kind of success they did of off this venture because they already have the money...

:rolleyes:

Thank you for the welcome...

and..

Dont you think that Radiohead's success is partially due to their already popular name??? I mean what kind of money do you think they spent promoting it. They made over $10 Mil. Kudos to them!

In part. I dont think they spent much at all to promote the cd. They took advantage of an opportunity - their demographic was waiting for an anti-label statement from an artist, and this was it.

I don't think they had to spend much. Once someone found out, the word of mouth spread like a southern California wildfire.

Very true, the got instant publicity because of their name.
