Flood said:The greatest blow to the RIAA came in Radiohead's 9 million dollars in sales (as of November), of their self-released album.
And every last cent of their sales (album available for download on their website... and YOU name your own price!) goes to the band. NOTHING to the record company. They don't even have a record contract. They record and distribute themselves, which should be a lesson to all well known bands. Obviously this sales structure won't work for lesser know bands, but Radiohead proved that people will VOLUNTARILY pay for many take for free, and this shit works.
