The truth about Radiohead

1.2 million albums sold, $8 each, no middleman, one week: Radiohead Kicks the Middleman to the Curb.

The thing to keep in mind is this: the value of the permission. The fact that the group now has more than a million people they can go make music for is worth many times over what these people already paid. If they're smart, they'll continue to change the way they work. Paying for their mp3s should get you into a club, a club with continuing benefits.
