"I think it was a one-off response to a particular situation," YorkeВ explained the band's decision last year to letВ fans pay if andВ what they wanted for digital downloads of their album "In Rainbows."

"Yes. It was a one-off in terms of a story. It was one of those things where we were in the position of everyone asking us what we were going to do. I don't think it would have the same significance now anyway, if we chose to give something away again. It was a moment in time."

Still the band remain silent on whether the experiment was successful or (according to the rumors) not, because most fans have paid nothing for downloading the music.
