@ The Suburbanite and anyone who thinks there’s “rules” on the internet…
There are none. Period. I’m a huge Radiohead fan, as anyone else here is, but playing the “let’s be free on the internet” game means you have to be willing to really play the game. The internet is basically international waters, which means there are no rules, no regulations, no bullshit. There’s a lot of shady shit that happens on the internet (not to say that Amplive’s move was necessarily shady, because I don’t think it was), but crying about remixes seems like a bunch of noise to me. So an artist released FREE remixes of songs on the fucking INTERNET… omg call the authorities. Regardless of anyone’s opinion of the quality of the remixes, this is a non-issue.

A bunch of noise I tells ya.

I don’t think this would be such a big deal if the remixes were any good. But they’re not.

Yep - agree with those saying the Radiohead management are right. Some people seem to have airy-fairy ideas of how the music BUSINESS works.

Well done radiohead management I say. The fact that you had to forward an email with your delivery address in it just screams ‘marketing scam’. Imagine how up in arms people would be if their details got sold on to an advertiser or spamming firm.

Amen brother Joshua.

Keep spreading the sacred word of wisdom.

Now this guy is making some sense.

People who do remixes should go sodomise themselves instead of sodomising our ears.

Whether it’s for profit or not is irrelevant. Fame leads to profit. If they are gonna leech off the fame of another group by creating a “remix” (by the way, a word that means “a cover by someone who’s too shit to make a cover”), they should get fucked.

No people wont opt out of buying In Rainbows over Amplive’s mixes, but taking a ride on some else’s well-earned publicity is cheating
