Radiohead's new album

I read in a review on the BBC website that it could be downloaded for £0.00. As this review was rather negative, I thought that I'd try this and then pay for it if I thought it was worth it.

I read in a review on the BBC website that it could be downloaded for £0.00. As this review was rather negative, I thought that I'd try this and then pay for it if I thought it was worth it. I didn't see a link on radiohead.com so I googled In Rainbows (the title). The suggestions that the google box gave included "in rainbows torrent". I knew that it was available for nothing legally so I was curious as to wtf.

Results 1 - 10 of about 2,290,000 for in rainbows torrent. (0.11 seconds)

Who would be that stupid?

Or is it people who, instead of paying Radiohead for the album, are saving them the cost of the bandwidth hence paying them a tiny amount lol.

ATTN Mods: I'm posting this in AH as it isn't really to do with the actual music and there was another what will you pay thread that was allowed.

Pighead done something like this before back in the 80's. Back in 88 would charge the girls in 4th class 50p for the privelage of kissing me on the lips(no tongues, that was yukky back then). Made 762 Pounds that year.

In 89 decided that it was unfair to charge for the kissing as it meant the chicks with no money couldn't afford to pucker up with Pighead. Told them that they could pay whatever they wanted.

Funny thing is Pighead made twice as much in 89.

It should have been what you wanted to charge

Fat ugly girl: How much Pighead?
Pighead: emmm €89,564.32 in pennies please

I know about the other thread :rolleyes: I mentioned it in the OP.
This thread isn't an "OMG Radiohead let you pay wht you want lol" thread
it's more of a "what kind of a half eejit would use a torrent illegally when they can get a http download free legally" -type of a thing
