A few months ago the band made headlines when it decided to release "In Rainbows" as a digital download, and for free on its website. Fans were asked to pay as much as they wanted for the album. Many took the full CD for free but the band still made millions, without having to pay any in distribution fees or record label fees.
Yorke says however that the move was "a one-off response to a particular situation", and won't happen again.
Yorke also added: "I don't think it would have the same significance now if we chose to give something away again. It was a moment in time", he said.
