Apparently someone got a hold of Thom Yorke's collection of tracks related to OK Computer and ransomed them for 150K.
The band apparently said 'F*ck You!' by releasing the tracks anyway, allowing fans to buy them all for only $23 bucks. Apparently they've been on the Web for free for some time as well.
Crazy.
