I love the use of the term "ploy" - as if it had all be a cunning plan of some sorts that we could never have seen coming: OF COURSE they'll hope people will buy the CD. But they can hardly force them to do so, so in the end, what they've done is basically give us a choice between paying or getting it for free, and all that legally, while disseminating their music, reaching audiences who would probably not pay them attention otherwise (after all, it's not as if In Rainbows contained any potential single....). All in all, it benefits both the band and the public - and I can certainly live with that
