    Tldr: it’s XL Recordings (the company that owns Radioheads catalog) and Google that are trying to file the claim, not anyone in Radiohead.

    I’m surprised Radiohead don’t own their catalog, tbh.

        Artists that give away entire albums tend to own the music. That doesn’t seem to be the case with Radiohead.

    which now operates as part of Beggars Group Digital

    Wow that’s a really fitting name for a copyright troll!

      Thom has a point about Trump and not playing in America. Personally I’d rather see more people boycott America.

      This is a moronic take, the kind of thing only some western Gen Z cancel culture warrior with no life experience would believe in. Radiohead understand that large numbers of their fans live in countries with questionable or outright authoritarian governments (they are massive in South America, for example). It would be very problematic if they started picking and choosing which of their fans was deserving of a live concert based on where they live or what kind of policies their government has been pursuing. Their music is something that unites people from all over the world and continuing to share it with everyone is the best thing they can do in this situation.
