"For just 18 days, the band is making the sessions available via the online music service Bandcamp for a price tag of £18. “So for £18 you can find out if we should have paid that ransom,” joked Greenwood."

So instead of them paying the hacker 150k, they'll make a few million. Brilliant.

A few million they are donating to Extinction Rebellion.

Seems like it was a 'leaker' not a 'hacker' and they didn't even demand anything. Radiohead must be playing this up.
