      Wait, so if I buy the NIN CD of legally downloadable music, would that make me a ninja? Or a pirate in a bizarre alternate universe?

    So let me see....NIN are releasing the unadultarated tracks so other people can have a go at mixing and remixing the songs...

    I guess the next step involves giving everyone guitars so they can write the songs for them? ;)

    That way, if NIN go out of business and musical styles change, we will br able to recreate their songs in the new formats.

    Whew!

    If only the RIAA will learn from this, give content in new ways, give content that is more than an MP3 file, give content that is *WORTH* paying for. Well, of course they're giving more than just an MP3 file! They're giving an MP3 (or similar) file with DRM! What a bonus!

    Did you notice his comment about using torrents... and that the torrents are hosted on the pirate bay?

    So why are his song lyrics always along the lines of 'Oh crikey, life is horrible! Everything is dreadful! I am so depressed! Blimey, things just took an unexpected turn for the worse!' ? Are macs that bad?

    The year is 2022. The drug Parepin has been placed into the water supply to pacify the masses. Gay sex, topless couch potatoing, and impromptu apartment musical performances are all secretly recorded by the government. One man has been sent from the future to write the industrial ballads that will save human-kind. Only one artist can write a song to show us just how repetitively annoying the future sounds. That man is Tre... [intercepted by the government]
