news article released on: 6 January, 2010

Wow! Trent and his band have been at the forefront of interacting with their support base and really pushing what is really possible with tech and vision and the motivated people involved. Impressive, most impressive.

Here we see the future.. these guys don't need the music business any more.. just a fanbase and a love for music.. the real reason for learning to play an instrument in the first place.

Keep it going on Trent and co .. I bought your first disk back when..

I completely agree here. And the fans will always pay for the music (at least some of them) because of how well the band has treated their fans...can't say the same for Metallica, U2, etc..

Trent Reznor has always been a pioneer of sorts. First of Industrial Rock and now of P2P.

Kudos, Trent!

I'm not a NIN fan by any stretch of the imagination but this is very cool. Maybe more bands will follow what Trent & Co. are doing and stick it to the record labels.

Saw Metallica this past November and then discovered they were selling full live recordings of EVERY concert stop on the web for $10 (and it's the equivalent of a double CD in content.) They even included album artwork, etc. for download.

I know it's not free, but its a step in the right direction away from the labels. $10 to revisit that night over and over was a fair price and I'm sure others would say the same.

@SProdigy
Problem still being that you cannot share your own content that has something borrowed from those $10 disks and i think that was the point. If you do metallicops will soon be behind your door.. or at least small army of RIAA/MPAA lawyers.

$10 is a step in the right direction and I agree with SProdigy now it would be nice if it was less DRM but at least Metalica is waking up a bit.

I've always liked Trent he is a one man band and is great, with a little help of computers of course.

Yeah but without that music business how many fans would they have right now?

I got the source files from the NIN site months ago, did 2 weeks of editing on it and made a DVD and blu-ray months ago, Since NIN allowed us to give it out for free it was a cool thing to do, letting people download it was the problem since the files are really big.

Where can you get the source files? This interests me now.
