Radiohead fan sites asked to remove lyrics

James Grimmelmann at LawMeme has the story. MeFi has the discussion. Hail to the Thief is an excellent album. I especially enjoy A Wolf at the Door. See also The Boston Globe article, Internet-savvy fans steal thunder of Radiohead release, which states: "Anecdotal evidence suggests that listeners have been downloading it at an extraordinary rate, making it not only the latest but one of the most egregious examples of people snagging electronic copies of a record before its release date. What critics and fans haven't been able to predict is whether any of this matters."
