SONIC OUTLAWS: Radiohead looking for change

The film we screened in class today was about the use of mass media and copyrights. Something widely talked about in this day in age of media in every aspect of live some people carry 5 different forms of media just in there pockets and bags. The internet is starting to change some of the ideas that Craig Baldwin and Negativland brought forth in Sonic Outlaws. One of the bands that are looking for change within media is Radiohead. With there recent release of In Rainbows on the internet allowing people to pay what they want has changed the way music is bought and distributed to the world bring a new for of mass media to the front stage of musical production. The internet allowed Radiohead to offer there CD at a cheaper price and still make the same amount of money not have to pay any fees to a record company. Taking away the suits that sued Negativland. This was the first change radiohead made to mass media. The second change was when they released the separate tracks of there popular song "Nude". They are for purchase on the internet. Radiohead is looking for people to take there tracks and make there own remixes of the song. They are giving tracks to people telling them to copyright infringe against them. If more bands did this the Weatherman would be out of business. U2 and Casey Kaseum Should take a note out of radioheads book and be happy that people want to use your work to produce something. Negativland wasn't looking to take the NAME U2 away from them they couldn't even if they wanted to. Be happy of your work and allow people to use it if it is all in good manor and not the exact same.
