I hope we all try to donate something anytime an artist does this. I would like nothing more than seeing the RIAA go down in flames for all the nasty things they have done and continue to do.

I think I've commented on the other Torrentfreak articles concerning this release but I'm really please that NIN decided to take this route. I've been hyping this release model for years and it's good to see it working. It goes to show that you can still sell plenty of albums, the bands can still make plenty of money, and the fans can listen to the music for free if they so choose (more people for the live concerts anyway). This is a good business model for real bands because they can't easily put out an album of pure bullshit and get away with it because we get to hear it first. Awesome. Now when is the sequel to The Downward Spiral due? That'll always be my favorite album of all time. I just don’t have enough great things to say about this.

Reznor didn't lose "$160,000 income in the past 12 hours" at all. His band made a ton of money from the paid-for versions, and won a great deal of respect for utilizing this new business model. The pirated versions have been downloaded by people who weren't queuing up to buy the record anyway. They wouldn't have paid a cent no matter what price NiN set. There is the likelihood that some downloaders may like the music and then download illegal copies of previous (and better) NiN records, but even then, the only loser would be the record companies that released them. If Trent hadn't released these recordings at such a fair price, and generated the publicity, none of these so-called "Freetards" would be downloading anything. This is why the "it's stealing" claim is always wrong. You can't claim someone has taken money from you if you never actually had the money guaranteed in the first place. It is outrageous that the "exclusive licences" obtained by RIAA companies are treated as a guarantee of income. Just because you put a CD on the shelves doesn't mean we have to pay for it!

Look people, the stuff we’re after is free distribution of cultural products, right? Stuff that’s part of the culture that someone made, or was made as part of something else. Disintermediation of the traditional distribution channels is one part of the process IMO.

Also hey, could this reply box be made a little wider? We could get some quality discussion going if people were able to review just what they just wrote…

Angsty?? It’s WONDERFUL. Let’s review:

1 You undercut the Russian MP3 sites.

2 You cut the obvious overhead of **AA etal legal shenanigans.

3 Pirate Bay users are scolding each other into buying the download.

4 Your website is being HAMMERED. As in what Rupert Murdoch would LOVE to happen to MySpace.

Can you hear that much of a difference between a high bitrate mp3 and flac? Face it: At high bitrates, most of the sound lost in an mp3 is just extremely high and low frequencies that no human ear can possibly hear I bet a lot of the difference you notice is all in your head. For me, the choice is clear: I'd much rather have a 256kbs mp3 (or even better, an ogg), rather than some huge wav file or flac filling up my hard drive (I'd still pay trent the five bucks though..he seems like a nice fellow). I do make an exception remixing the music however... Its always good to work with uncompressed audio when your editing a recording, so that you don't loose as much quality when you compress it down.

Enjoy these last few months or years of net neutrality while you can.

You are a clear, well though out idea in a wasteland where good ideas are shut down by individuals who can't think for themselves. I paid the $5 for the download, I hope NIN sees every penny, they should be rewarded for what they do, and should be entitled to all the profits. They wrote the music, they recorded the music, they marketed the album, they distributed the album, they have the rights over THEIR own music. It's time the ARTIST had control over their art, not some label that controls what the artist can and cannot do with his own creations. Thank you NIN.
