    Wow. They're releasing it without copy protection, too? This is good news.

    I would pay $5.00 or so, not only because I love Radiohead's music, and want to encourage them to continue to create such a great product, but also to support this movement. I recognize that this might be seen as "charity", but to me it is also paying for a product to own it legally, and placing an amount on it that I truly consider to be a value.

    You can't buy it for 0 dollars.

    I tried, and they don't even give you an activation code.

    Well, THAT goes against everything they're trying to do with this.

    They DO need to make profit.

    You can't buy it for 0 dollars. I tried
    I also tried, just to see if it would let me. I don't care for Radiohead all that much.

    Why? They're already rich. They can profit from something else, like concerts and merch. If I can't listen to the music for free to see if I like them, there's no way I'm spending money on anything.

    They also have enough poserly and devoted indie fans who are going to be ordering the $80 special edition with the vinyl disc.

    Can I buy the songs individually then? If I only get to hear the singles, and they are good, I have to trust that the rest of the album isn't just armpit noises?

    Most of Radiohead is the same so you can just listen to one song. :D

    What? I just did this and you just need to type in 0.00 at the pay screen and they send you an e-mail, the album's not actually available until next week, they send you the code then.

    Not really.
  • La Petit MortLa Petit Mort
    I said most.

    You mean in terms of by album or overall? If its the former, I agree, if it's the latter, I don't.

    WRONG. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Radiohead rocks.

    You are entitled to your opinion but "Radiohead rocks" is not a universal constant.

    No, it isn't. It's the Eleventh Commandment.
