Radiohead bypasses hackers to publish its 'OK Computer' demos
Radiohead has turned the tables on a hacker after a hacker breached Thom Yorke's computer to get hold of demos the band recorded between 1995 and 1998. "We got hacked last week," writes the band's Jonny Greenwood on Radiohead's oblique official blog, Dead Air Space. "Someone stole Thom's minidisk archive from around the time of OK Computer," demanding "$150,000 on threat of releasing it." But, rather than acquiesce to the demand, the group have simply put all 18 hours' worth of material up for sale.
