Radiohead don’t pay for their own album

Radhiohead 

Thom Yorke, lead singer of popular beat combo Radiohead, has admitted to not paying for the band’s latest album. That’s right – he paid NOTHING for it. How could you, Thom, oh, how could you??

Quite easily, in fact. And he’s in good company. About three-fifths of Radiohead fans who bought the group’s last album also paid nothing – the album, In Rainbows, was available to buy as a download only and fans were allowed to set their own price to purchase it. The vast majority decided to set themselves a price of $0 (well, if it’s an option – why not go for it?), whilst the average price of the download came to about $6.

A question still remains, though: couldn’t Thom Yorke just have been given the album? I mean, he did make it. Maybe he was just trying to see how this new-fangled Internet technology thing worked.
