Really.’ – Radiohead, In Rainbows.com digital download site (2007) ‘I think the way [Radiohead] parlayed it into a marketing gimmick has certainly been shrewd. But if you look at what they did, though, it was very much a bait and switch to get you to pay for a MySpace-quality stream as a way to promote a very traditional record sale. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I don’t see that as a big revolution [that] they’re kinda [sic] getting credit for. To me that feels insincere. It relies upon the fact that it was quote-unquote ‘first,’ and it takes the headlines with it.’ – Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, Triple J’s ‘Hack’ interview (Chartier, 2008). 1. Introduction: Two Market Events & Four Initial Reactions 1.1 Paper Overview & Problem Statement Market events force journalists, policymakers and valuation analysts to make judgments on the basis of ambiguous and incomplete information. This paper explores why Chris Anderson, Scott Anthony and other strategists applaud Radiohead’s In Rainbows (2007) and Nine Inch Nails’ The Slip (2008) as two market events about online digital downloads that might dramatically alter the digital music industry’s structure, firms, and business models.
