Radiohead to Release New Album, "In Rainbows," on the Web

And you can pay whatever you like for it. You just add the download to your basket, go to your basket and then enter whatever price you want. I entered 0.0 just to see what would happen. I then "stood in queue" for a couple of minutes (I assume this is because the site was overloaded when the release date and method of release was first announced). I was then asked to sign in or register. The registration process asks for name, email, address and mobile phone number. I gave a fake everything except email address as that's where the details for download are to be sent. Here is an LA Times article on it. If you want the deluxe box set you have to pay, of course, but it looks like if you just want a download, you can pay 0.00. I received this email:
