My take:

I read an article a while back about the day the record industry lost control. It happened recently and the labels are powerless to stop it. It was the last episode of the Sopranos. When they played Journey at the end the music industry as we know it died. Their song 20 years old, jumped back up on the charts and made the top 20 on itunes. It signaled that us, the people, the consumers are now in control, not them! We make the hits, not the radio stations or labels or MTV.

As for NIN and Radio Head, RH should get over the full album obsession, however think about it, if they both sell on itunes, they keep 100% of the money as opposed to splitting it with the label.

I also think this is great news for the death of the RIAA!!!!!!!
