Radiohead, reworked

Friday, 20th June 2008

In the New Republic, a disgruntled David Hajdu examines the delicate issue of the Internet and open-source remixing:

If this is legal, it is also extortionate and an act of terrible hypocrisy--a revocation of the promise of creative ownership that is drawing people to remixing, the promise that Radiohead has been eager to exploit, in large print, to sell its stems... For the moment, Yorke and his band have a message for fans loaded with GarageBand and an urge to own a part of Radiohead: Don't get any big ideas. They're not going to happen.
