And we're all a bunch of cheap bastards.
Sixty-two percent of people who downloaded In Rainbows paid nothing for the album, resulting in the average price people paid for the album being $2.26.
I think that's pretty sorry. Look at Thom. He's crushed!
What do you guys think?

i was disappointed to hear it. does this mean, listeners have 'proven' that if left to our own devices, we will continue to freeload/should be prosecuted for downloading? maybe it's not that drastic but it certainly doesn't seem to help us out or pave the way for other artists to follow suit a la 'in rainbows' ...does it?
I don't know, I dropped the $80. I want my vinyl and other goodies! None of this compressed garbage! $2.xx is a little harsh though, considering they're probably counting everyone who dropped the $80 for the discbox...and how many people who could give a shit about Radiohead just downloaded the album just because it was 'pay what you want?'
How much did they gross from this? I heard $10 million, which isn't bad considering the money is not being filtered through any major label and they'll probably make alot more once the CD is released.
Thank you Radiohead!
BOOOO! who doesn't pay for music--oh crap, i didn't give them a cent. thom must think i'm a turd.
