Yorke said the same thing in a widely-quoted recent interview with David 
Byrne. His advice to young artists in that piece was, "Don't sign a huge 
record contract that strips you of all your digital rights, so that when 
you do sell something on iTunes you get absolutely zero. That would be 
the first priority." He went on to say that selling the new album, In 
Rainbows, directly to fans made the band more money from digital 
distribution than "all the other Radiohead albums put together, forever."

Oh hell my bandwidth is saturated right now.  No hyperlink from me at 
the moment.  I'm downloading a 94.6GB torrent right now.  Cause it's 
there.  Interestingly this caused major problems on an external USB 
drive when allocating space but no problems on my internal drive.
