I skimmed through it once, don't think I'll listen to it again, but I'm glad to support that effort. A vote "no" to high priced music. A vote "no" to DRM.

A thread about people and by people who are actually paying for music downloaded on the Internet! I wonder what the RIAA cabal and piracy vigilante groups think of this. Rumor has it that Ani DiFranco started her own label with $50 bucks, and the label has been a financial success. Maybe Radiohead will start their own label? And, you know, release good music and make some money to pay for bills and other fun things. Anyone who has seen Radiohead live, and I have, know that they put on a phenomenal show. At least the most important part is sorted. Wow. A thread about people and by people who are actually paying for music downloaded on the Internet!

They were even bolder than Radiohead, in the sense they financed a whole album production from pre-sales through their Marillion.com portal. The whole "architecture of participation" thing that defines Web 2.0 is, to my view, an excellent perception distribution method, so I think we're going to see more things like this emerging. At same time, we're going to see more and more RIAA copyright spasms, trying to hold onto a value chain that will no longer exist in a few years.

The bands make money because people actually want to, you know, come out and watch them play.

I wasn't taking you seriousl tho, but isn't it funny how the only fucking Radiohead songs that get played over the airwaves are mainly from OK Computer (except for the ocassional Bends track, and of course "Creep" from Pablo Honey). Yeah, the music industry is at an odd place right now really. The labels are only good for one thing if you ask me, and that's promotion. I've said it before that only bands of this stature (big bands) might be able to pull this whole thing off without the need of a label, granted you still have to figure out how you're going to get your stuff out there which generally means dealing with a distro company of some sorts. I think that Radiohead obviously has the finances and connections to make something like this work out. Oh Peter, you should know I was just teasing you .. hence the :

Radiohead have become like the new standards. (Witness the covers.) But yeah, that's why this is a big deal, because they have this cultural power behind them. I think the big thing is that the larger conglomerates -- not the labels, even, the media companies -- want everyone to believe they're on their side. Companies like Apple, bless them and their awesome OS, want to have everything buttoned up with those companies. This suggests there are major chinks in the armor. dead red eyes, even you’re now taking me way too seriously … irony, my friend. Radiohead have become like the new standards. (Witness the covers.)
