Today Radiohead goes public with their new album, In Rainbows. The interesting thing about this album is that you, the Internet consumer, can download individual songs or the whole album for any price you'd like to pay. The tracks are Digital Rights Management (DRM) free, so you can do anything you'd like with them. It's sort of like shareware music.
Says singer Thom Yorke:
I like the people at our record company, but the time is at hand when you have to ask why anyone needs one.
TIME Magazine has a pretty good story about it.
I just tried the In Rainbows Web site, and it seemed overloaded...
... and bits for free?
