Reznor Follows Radiohead, Offers Free Album
An anonymous reader writes "Convinced the current music business infrastructure (requiring artists to rely on labels) is broken, Nine Inch Nails front man, Trent Reznor, released his band's new album, Ghosts I — IV (Ghosts Volumes One though Four), on Sunday at 6 PM via his official site, marking yet another business experiment for this artist in the changing music market."
Screw Amazon's DRM-laden MP3 service. I'll be waiting for the servers to come back to life, and then I'll pay $5 to Trent directly. More money in his pocket, and it shows how valuable the download is to me: so valuable I'm willing to give not just $5, I'm willing to give my time as I impatiently wait for it.
It's rare that you're presented with a knob whose only two positions are Make History and Flee Your Glorious Destiny.
