I don't know about anyone else, but being offered free music DOES make me want to give them money and support. On the other hand, being told I have to pay $13 bucks for a half an hour of music on a plastic disc that will inevitably scratch and break makes me want to steal the album. I can't think of a smarter thing to do than to offer your music for free to the general public anyway. So everyone in the world downloads it and doesn't pay a cent? Now everyone knows who they are and what their music is like and they go out and buy all the other albums and concert tickets and get the exposure any musician should want. Seems like that's been the smart idea all along, versus the Metallica route of suing their fans for trying to hear their music for free. I hope this does unhinge the record industry and buries the ridiculous propaganda and outrageous pricing that has controlled the music community for decades now. VIVA RADIOHEAD!
