My Boss Hates Radiohead, but the Internets Don’t
Radiohead released their new album called “In Rainbows” on their website as a download where you name your price. What a crazy concept?
You might think:
- That is just giving the album away, how could you make money?
- Wow they made a ton of money because the amount of marketing traffic they are getting from the controversial “name your price” ( hitwise marks them as the most popular UK music website last week.)
- Radiohead is changing the music industry (see changewaves post about how this could mean the end to artists signing with record labels for distribution)
- Or, you might think, “Who cares it is Radiohead” (see Ed Schipul)
