- Post subject: Thom Yorke Releases New Album Via BitTorrent
|
| Quote: | "As an experiment we are using a new version of BitTorrent to distribute a new Thom Yorke record.
The new Torrent files have a pay gate to access a bundle of files..
The files can be anything, but in this case is an 'album'.
It’s an experiment to see if the mechanics of the system are something that the general public can get its head around ...
If it works well it could be an effective way of handing some control of internet commerce back to people who are creating the work.
Enabling those people who make either music, video or any other kind of digital content to sell it themselves.
Bypassing the self elected gate-keepers.
If it works anyone can do this exactly as we have done.
The torrent mechanism does not require any server uploading or hosting costs or ‘cloud’ malarkey.
It's a self-contained embeddable shop front...
The network not only carries the traffic, it also hosts the file. The file is in the network.
Oh yes and it's called
Tomorrow's Modern Boxes.
Thom Yorke & Nigel Godrich! |
The album is sold via https://bundles.bittorrent.com/bundles/...514059ab63 for $6.00
According to NME the album has been downloaded via this link 34,900 in the first two hours of its release.
What do you guys think of this "new" strategy from Thom Yorke and company

Fuck why can't anyone I care about suddenly drop an album? Why does it have to be U2 or Death Grips or Thom Yorke solo, why can't I have a sudden Stereolab reunion album?

Who are you referring to when you say 'stupid pale island people'?

there wasn't another good over-the-top joking way to refer to both Bono and Thom Yorke since Ireland is sovereign but the joke wasn't entirely funny or anything

I loved MBV and Next Day was solid, so two out of three ain't bad.

Great album. Top 3 of its year I'd say.
