Sorry I'm like 3 years late, but "Moses" is full of it. Total phony and BS. Just got more spam from him 5 years after our first encounter. Now "he's" selling vacations. Bathtub is a rip off.

Certainly they kept the costs way lower than they would have with a label. And this doesn't rule out a label release, so it's all gravy. If we assume the record was going to leak anyway, they've managed to make a couple million dollars off of doing that themselves. I can't see how that could not be considered a huge win. There are a lot of dimensions to the consumer mindset though. Some people are more willing to give their money to Radiohead, some are less willing. Ultimately I think most consumers are pretty sure that Radiohead really doesn't _need_ their money -- that Radiohead are set for life millionaires. How does that impact where people decide to throw their music money? It’s pretty hard to compare Radiohead’s career and anybody else’s.

It was reported they got 1.2 million downlaods, and that was in mid October, and they made nearly 6-10 million dollars on the average price spent of being 5 bucks, but reports now varies from between 2 bucks to 8 bucks. And I can only guess they did roughly another million downloads, so based on those figures... do you think they still made roughly the same amount they would have if they released the album with a label?
