By the way I've known of you, or rather seen you around the Sitepoint forums since many years back. I was a bit of a nobody though so I doubt you would have spoken to me directly. Anyway best wishes, and kudos on the redesign!

I am a songwriter and at last I read something that makes sense to me. And I agree that Radiohead is doing what musicians and groups should do. I think the CD (the physical format of the released product) is one of the reasons people want free music. The CD is just a horrible and inconvenient piece of plastic with dimensions too small to develop a good artwork. The vinyl albums were much more interesting and you could "plunge" into an artist world. The CD format was a big mistake (and a good thing from a purely audio quality perspective). The industry should have placed a CD into a cover with the same dimensions as a vinyl cover so that the artwork could have been developed. Also, I think only record companies and labels have something to lose with the Internet, not artists. And the least I can say is that record companies have never convinced me of their good work and efficiency. Good article! I am a songwriter and at last I read something that makes sense to me.
