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.'"

    Dang, I saw Tool a year ago and all I found on the bathroom floor was vomit.

    More importantly - who steals USB drives from bathrooms?
