The Radiohead pay-what-you-want deal, part 786
On December 12th
This has been so commented upon, I’ve been afraid there’s nothing to add. The NYTimes has a follow-up piece today.
But I think it boils down to this: Radiohead treats it audience with some trust. It’s so easy to treat them as the enemy. If you treat your audience / fans / customers as the enemy, they will become your enemy.

Just a gut-reaction comment: it’s not necessarily the bands that are treating their audience as “the enemy” but record labels.
I’m sure that’s not true of all record labels, but as a generalization, I think it rings more true than not.
