In an act of rebellion, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and producer Nigel Godrich have pulled all their side project albums from Spotify and Rdio because "new artists get paid fuck all with this model… It’s an equation that just doesn’t work". That’ll show ’em, eh?

Remember the 2011 attack that crippled Sony’s PlayStation Network, leaked almost a quarter million users’ information and generally was a nuisance? It’s still cleaning up after that mess. Earlier this year, the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) slapped the company’s European wing with a £250,000 fine ($377,575), saying it should have been better prepared for the attack — now Sony’s agreed to pay up. The electronics giant still maintains that the charge is without merit, but ceded to the penalty to avoid disclosing details about its security procedures. Apparently, the two months of free PS+ wasn’t enough to make everybody forget.
