from here:
Radiohead's past two albums, "Kid A" and "Amnesiac," were also were available online several weeks before street date, despite the fact that no advance copies were circulated and journalists were required to listen to them at the office of the band's publicist. Nevertheless, the sets debuted at No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, on the Billboard 200, and have sold more than 1.7 million copies in the U.S. combined, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Wait. This couldn't POSSIBLY mean that if bands make good music, people will still buy the records despite having already downloaded tracks, could it? Nah. THIEVES! ALL OF YOU!
Hail to the (digital media) Theif
