An internet user managed to get his hands on unheard recording sessions for the album OK Computer, released in 1997.
According to Konbini, “in exchange for returning the stolen material, the hacker demanded $150,000 from the group led by Thom Yorke. “$800 per studio track, $50 per live track”, he specified. Overall, its 18 hours of studio out-takes, alternative or incomplete versions of tracks from OK Computer, which the bootlegger managed to get hold of. And if the band refused to pay up, he’d release all of it online.”
The group immediately went public about what happened: “We got hacked last week – So instead of complaining – much – or ignoring it, we’re releasing all 18 hours on Band camp in aid of Extinction Rebellion: https://radiohead.bandcamp.com. Just for the next 18 days. So for £18 you can find out if we should have paid that ransom” said Radiohead on their Facebook page.
The money raised will be sent to Extinction Rebellion, an organization which is fighting to limit climate change. The initiative will be available for the next 18 days, and should serve as a lesson to the blackmailer, who won’t be getting nothing.
