RIAA Attacks Sites Participating in Its Own Campaign

Posted by Zonk on from the need-to-get-your-stories-straight-here-guys dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The RIAA is once again at their old tricks. The band Nine Inch Nails has intentionally 'leaked' songs via USB keys hidden at restrooms during their current European tour. Sites hosting the songs are now being sent cease and desist orders. 'Ironically, with its numerous pirated downloads available, the whole album has not leaked yet. According to a source, the only leaks are the ones Reznor approved himself. And whether he realizes it or not, Reznor may be building a new option for presenting music that augments the existing CD/tour scenario.'"

    Oh shit, sorry for responding to my own post, but I just realized that if everything was free, people would just take advantage of the system, not do any work whatsoever, take as much shit as they possibly can, and all of human civilization would crumble in a matter of days.

    Sorry about giving so many of you guys false hope.

    Did you find their talent as well? They seemed to have lost it.
