There's a short bit at Ars Technica regarding Radiohead's In Rainbows pay what you like experiment and the band have said they made more in digital distrubution money from In Rainbows than all of their other works combined, forever.
Apparently many contracts in the days before downloading tracks had no provision for digital royalties and the artists get nothing on them. That's absurd! The bit on Ars has a couple of good links to a couple of other articles, one being an interview by David Byrne. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080102-radiohead-artists-often-screwed-by-digital-downloads.html And yes, I did pay 5 pounds for In Rainbows. -- 4mula1 SlimServer 6.5.4 + Solaris 10 x86: Because Linux would've been too easy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4mula1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3439 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41571 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
