Radiohead's management has refuted the reports that more than 60% of the people who downloaded In Rainbows opted against paying anything for the album. “In response to purely speculative figures announced in the press regarding the number of downloads and the price paid for the album, the group’s representatives would like to remind people that, as the album could only be downloaded from the band’s website, it is impossible for outside organisations to have accurate figures on sales.” Radiohead further claims that the figures quoted by comScore are inaccurate and and fail to reflect the true market intelligence of their innovative pricing system.
While such statements are interesting and nice, perhaps Radiohead would like to share their figures on which they base their statements and definitively refute the report.
