Trent Reznor Says "Steal My Music"

THX-1138 writes "A few months ago, Trent Reznor (frontman of the band Nine Inch Nails), was in Australia doing an interview when he commented on the outrageous prices of CDs there. Apparently now his label, Universal Media Group is angry at him for having said that. During a concert last night, he told fans, '...Has anyone seen the price come down? Okay, well, you know what that means — STEAL IT. Steal away. Steal and steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealin'. Because one way or another these mother****ers will get it through their head that they're ripping people off and that's not right.'"

My guess is that having his cake and eating it too is a lot more attractive than giving up major label money and moving into the apartment next door to Jonathan Coulton's. But we'll see...

If I were him, I'd make a whole CD out of white noise and screaming sounds, maybe with some drums on top for effect.
