Interesting when you mention the Radiohead brand. I think the way you are supposed to use digital media or social networking is to have a following and then if you have something to sell you have a chance. Its a more direct communication these days between the artists and the public or fans. I see artists who embrace this as the ones who can still do well. the record companies have become the real boogey man. Anyone who communicates through their record company seems really out of date these days.

And I couldn’t help feeling pleased to see cheap CD’s in HMV the other day. Lets not forget that when CDs first came out the recording industry hiked up the price to cover their new technology costs but crucially never increased the royalty to the artist even when this new technology became very cheap. I think part of the stealing that goes on is a two fingers to an industry that has taken the mickey for too long.

Also lets not forget that Radiohead have been talking directly to their fans through the internet for over 10 years through their website going way back to the blogs form the recording sessions for Kid A and Amnesiac so they have essentially had a head start and deserve the rewards they are reaping now that they are independent.
