Shooting Yourself in the Foot

An insightful article by Andy Greenberg of Forbes on Radiohead's "pay what you want" experiment.

Free? Steal it Anyway

The article quotes Doug Litchtman, one of IPcentral's Academic Advisory Council members:

"But for Doug Lichtman, an intellectual property professor at the UCLA School of Law, the volume of piracy following In Rainbows' release erodes the success of Radiohead's innovation. "If the community rejects even forward-thinking experiments like this one, real harm is done to the next generation of experimentation and change," he says."
