An absurd piece of shortsighted nonsense from BBQ<\/a>, bemoaning the fact that WBOOG(2) Radiohead’s fans didnt fall overthemselvs like Ron Paul supports to pour money into their account in exchange for their new set of recordings (formerly called an ‘Album’):<\/p>\n

“Radiohead have been bankrolled by their former label for the last 15 years,” said Michael Laskow, chief executive of Taxi, a company that helps bands get signed to record labels.<\/p>\n

“They’ve built a fanbase in the millions with their label, and now they’re able to cash in on that fan base with none of the income or profit going to the label this time around.”<\/p>\n

Yes indeed.<\/p>\n

I will tell you how they will use this model and make millions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We are in the middle of a transition period between the Soviet era of music manufacture and distribution and ‘teh internets’ era; the era of dematerialized frictionless distribution, the era of music as a service, not a product.<\/p>\n

Only the buggy whip selling computer illiterate, evil paternalist losers at the BBC<\/a> whine about this new era.<\/p>\n
