Yes, in a sense it is an opinion but in another sense it makes them more in tune with the fans that pay more money instead of the fans that appreciate the art of music making. When a CD costs $15 and you don't even have the right to copy the thing you bought to your own computer or mp3 player; that is ridiculous. Giving away some (not all) of their music for free shows that Radiohead cares more about the artistical aspect than the money. The fact that KISS is denouncing it makes it easier to find faults in the band.
I think those of us that criticized Kiss's artistic ability had nothing to do
with their position on this subject.Either you like them or you don't.

I'll be perfectly clear then. I don't like KISS and I really don't like their position on the subject. KISS is more cabaret than music.

Yes I can see them being fun and many people love them.

But some act are more fun to watch than actually listen to,
as you said more like caberet.
And they have a bad attidude towards the masses that have supported them all these years.
