I think this is part of Kim's pet paradox about conservative things ultimately becoming the most radical ones and vice versa. Here it just comes off as real bitchy. The long-form music video is a marketing ploy and Michael Jackson made all his contemporaries look bad as a result. So what? He's doing his thing. Radiohead uses their position to say something about the state of the music industry and, if they literally use their music to do it, I think it's very foolish thing to judge it on how it affects other bands. (By the way, I never obtained In Rainbows and I am not a Radiohead fan. I am actually a huge fan and supporter of Sonic Youth, who even put together a very lo-fi video -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3zNnRLOul4 -- to promote their current album since I do realize that they're indie and they need to focus on the music-making.)
