Why does it seem like that?

ah nevermind I just read the whole thing in the googledoc and read the discord convo.

I assumed the hacker held the sessions for ransom and made this known to the band - so radiohead leaked the sessions themselves ASAP.

Turns out the person who had them never contacted the band and ended up releasing the leaks with no pay

I meant that they were saying that the leaker was just trying to sell them to anyone who would buy them, not asking for a ransom from the band in return for not leaking them.  

ayyy, tis good, official ransom would be a good band name actually

Yes I would buy the 72 hour Kid A Sessions.  but No i would not pay someone to curate them. This is more just curiosity for me - im a big radiohead fan but not huge (never seen them live and dont think i will but i own all their albums except moon shaped). this shit is awesome to me. Huge awesome windows into the process with some gems scattered throughout. It's WAAAAY too much for a casual - but so was the soundcloud afx dump, no?

That's hardcore bro.  I didn't go in for the RDJ soundclown either, might've listened to the collection once thru but decided it was too deep of a rabbit hole for the non-fanbois.  As ryde-or-dye 'chre checka I did however plunk down for elseq, the first installment of AE_live and and the NTS Sessions, and I know IDM can be extreme but even that's a been heady slab of gonk to digest.  Drew the line when they released the 19 or so additional soundboards from the tour.  Not even a money thing, I just don't have another spare 20 hrs to listen to the exclusion of other music, the whole finite thing.

Funnily enough I was watching Stewart Lee's Content Provider last night (recommended) and there's a part in that where he mentions all the time he used to spend in the 80s and 90s traipsing around record shops with a list he'd sunk a shitload of time and research into, looking for rare treasures. And the joy of finding one of them, and the joy of getting it home and playing it. 

For those that don't know Stewart Lee is a massive avant gard/experimental music fan. On that video he's wearing a Les Rallizes Denudes shirt.

So what he's leading up to is saying around 1997 (OK Computer's release year) he discovered the internet. Downloaded everything on his list in a single afternoon, played them all and felt empty.

Man that short anecdote resonates so much, do you have a link to this or is it a netflix thing?

2 and half hour curated compilation.. https://we.tl/t-M0z08nOgtS

includes just about all the unique sounding band jams as a priority. alot of the multiple live ver sions of Ok Computer tracks have been left out. a lot of the thom yorke acoustic solo tracks have been left out ( a lot of them are in a very primitive / initial idea stage, and is just a little bit too much to try and curate with the other material... but there's some acoustic tracks included !!! ). also, some of the tracks are personal edits i did, just in interest of keeping the songs original groove in tact as much as possible and removing pauses/skips. the edit of "nude" in particular might be the most blasphemy cos it copy and pastes  the chorus from later in the song, over to the start of the song, because the original recording has a massive skip in it.
