Discouraging Results on the Radiohead Web Experiment
I was very excited by Radiohead’s In Rainbows “pay what you want” download experiment. I paid about $12 which was a bit high, but I really wanted to support their efforts. However, evidently, only about 35% of us wanted to support Radiohead’s efforts in any manner. Everyone else downloaded the album for free.
That’s just so wrong. I hate the RIAA with a passion. However, one should pay for one’s copy of the music. And this experiment makes it look as if the RIAA has been right all these years. Which, I firmly believe is not the case. But the subject now becomes much more difficult to argue.
BTW - the album itself, In Rainbows, is really quite wonderful. Well worth my $12!
Hello. I am
Is the album still available for download?
Yup!!!! Some of the commentary I’ve heard is that the pay vs. free ratio might change the longer the album is available.
Can’t find it, got link?
Ah - it’s on their In Rainbows web site: http://www.inrainbows.com/
