It seems that the boys in Radiohead are not quite peeved that Amplive had planned to release a free In Rainbows remix, but they’re not necessarily jumping for joy, either.

As we reported last month, Oakland-area deejay/producer Amplive was set to release Rainydayz Remixes for free to those who bought In Rainbows. But a recent cease-and-desist letter that Radiohead's publisher sent to Amplive's label put the kibosh on that. Radiohead manager Bryce Edge told Gigwise that it basically boils down to a photo of Thom Yorke on the Amplive website. Yes, really.

"A main problem was that he (Amplive) did a cut and paste of a photo of Thom and put it on his website, which inferred he was involved in the project. When we heard that you had to send a confirmation e-mail from W.A.S.T.E to get the album, we thought, 'That's a bit naughty!' " Edge told Gigwise. "It wasn't a case of someone simply posting some remixes on a website; he was suggesting that the band were involved, and that's why the publishers decided to take this action."

Edge added: "Amplive had never even come to the band telling them about his idea, which would have been nice. I know he had good intentions,but I just think he’s misled people."

Edge also noted that management and the band will be discussing the matter further at a meeting on Tuesday, January 8. Sounds like a plan. God forbid they don't make a big deal out of next to nothing. [Gigwise]
