What makes me curious is who is donating the BIG BUCKS so that all those who donated $1 average out to $8?
yea i don't doubt that some of the reporting is a bit sketchy at this point, but i'm also pretty optimistic that there was a large cohort of hardcore radiohead/music fans who have strong principles and didn't mind paying 10-20 pounds for the download. as a student i find it hard to believe that so many did in fact pay more than 0-1 pound for it, but hey, that's just the ignorant inner-student instinct comin out

and hey, what's the deal with yous guys paying nothing for it? i can understand downloading countless cd's off torrent sites, cuz a) cd's are expensive and b) the money hardly goes to the band anyway. but in this case, virtually all the money off sales is going right to radiohead, so why not toss em a buck or two? i know theyre already rich biatches lol but it's the principle of the thing
