Thom Yorke's BitTorrent Release, Had Over a Million Downloads in 6 Days

So, How did Thom Yorke's Latest Music-Distribution Venture Go ? Pretty Well, it Seems. The Radiohead-Frontman's 2nd Solo Album, 'Tomorrow's Modern Boxes', Achieved Over a Million Downloads in 6 Days via BitTorrent Bundle, according to the Peer-to-Peer Network's Blog. Exactly How the Numbers Break Down, is a Bit Nebulous, though. BitTorrent Says that, those Million Downloads also include the Freebie Single and Video, as well as, the $6 Album, Noting to Consequence of Sound that Precise Sales Numbers were being Withheld at Yorke's Request. Still, it's a Little Exciting to See that, Bundles Could be a Viable Way for Musicians to Earn a Living -- especially When Streaming Services are Well-Known for Less-than-Favourable Pay-Outs and Business Practices. Let's just Hope this Success Isn't Limited to Acts with Yorke's Inherent Star-Power. Afterall, Even Trent Reznor Went Back to a Traditional Record Label after Toying with Total Independence.
