Radiohead has a new material, In Rainbows , which in addition to maintaining good taste in music has accustomed us, brings us a preunta is this cd comes to mark a before and after in the music industry?. The British group by going counter to the industry with its paranoid, hyper-protectionist view of the business (for example on the infamous Sony rootkit DMR ) decided that his seventh material is distributed from the group's official site without intermediaries ie without involving any label or online music store. This is already a novelty but the strongest point is that the quintet decided that the time you can choose to download the album as the band want to donate depending on how you think it's fair to pay, including the extreme case where low overall disk Free!.

No not the English group will not disappear or have to live counting coins represent the record executives. With this new form of distribution and elimination of intermediaries Radiohead happen to make a lot more money.

Why should you financially? An artist receives on average only 8% (1 to 2 dollars) of what we pay for a cd, Radiohead thus keep 100% of what you donate at the time of discharge the disc.

But but how many people on the album? According to unofficial sources (but close to the band) in the first week was downloaded 1.2 million hard times. If we compare this with first week sales of his last 3 jobs "Hail to the Thief" 300,000, "Amnesiac" 231,000, "Kid A" 207.000 according to official figures the result is clearly a success of "sales".

But people paid? On average people "donated" U $ D 8 each, which (by accounts that even my nephew can do) the gain is U $ D $ 9.6 million, an amount greater than extremely receive if they were tied to a label.

As the grasshopper
Maria Elena Walsh

So many times I killed
I died many times,
But I'm here
resurrected.
I thank the misfortune
hand and dagger
it killed me so bad,
and continued singing.

Singing in the sun like the cicada
after one year under the earth,
Like survivor
returning from the war.

So many times I erased,
many disappeared,
I went to my own funeral
alone and crying.
I made a knot to
but I forgot after
it was not the only time,
and came back singing.

Intellectual property favorite excuse to maintain monopolies, it is also often the best alternative to annihilate the freedom of expression.

Many of the common cultural references are part of our everyday expressions, and the fact that they own is at times like someone owns some letters of the alphabet. David Casacuberta, reminds us that criticism sometimes uses images as trademarks or weapon. The cock is the quintessential Barbie and the soldiers who cross the line are "Rambo." In these cases the expression and copyright intersect and often devour.
