Leak Date

Radiohead on releasing their album early and letting consumers pay whatever they wanted: “The way we termed it was “our leak date.” Every record for the last four — including my solo record — has been leaked. So the idea was like, we’ll leak it, then.”

Never thought about it like that. Read the whole interview between David Byrne and Thom Yorke from Wired.
