Reportedly 450,000 downloads so far, though that includes free downloads of a sample track and actual dollar sales are undisclosed. Still, BitTorrent says thy are very happy with the conversion rate and the whole thing is a "huge success".
Shrewd play by Yorke, and another chance for him to thumb his nose at EMI and Spotify. To your point, yes, he is leveraging the fan base and celebrity status he already has. I doubt BitTorrent would offer a lesser known musician such a good deal. But I'll be watching further developments with interest.
