| the Internet. The track is called âThese Are My Twisted Wordsâ and until

| bandâs blog, it seems the boys couldâve had it planned all along, as they are
| now linking to the song on Mininova.

Radiohead's Thom Yorke Dishes on CD Hatred and the Music Industry
,----[ Quote ]
| Before that joke, though, he was more specific on his opinions of physical
| formats that hold digital media: âI mean, I always hated CDs. Me and Stanley
| [Donwood] always hated CDs. Just a fucking nightmare,â he ranted, adding
| later, âthereâs a process of natural selection going on right now. The music
| business was waiting to die in its current form about twenty years ago. But
| then, hallelujah, the CD turned up and kept it going for a bit. But
| basically, it was dead.â

Fox The Latest Studio To Declare War On Redbox
,----[ Quote ]
| Either way, this is a story of the movie studios letting their own greed
| interfere with innovation. These movies are being legally purchased. It's
| difficult to see how the studios have any leg to stand on in preventing
| Redbox from using their movies in its service. Isn't there a First Sale right
| somewhere?

Radiohead's Manager: File Sharing Should Be Legal; It's Great For Music
,----[ Quote ]
| This probably isn't much of a surprise given Radiohead's well-publicized
| experiment with letting fans "pay what you want" for its last album, but the
| band's manager has now said that he thinks file sharing should be legal (sent
| in by Ruby), noting:
|
| "We believe file-sharing by peer-to-peer should be legalised. The sharing
| of music where it is not for profit is a great thing for culture and
| music."
