| Trent Reznor (NIN) has been angry with the music industry for a long
time. Earlier this year he released Year Zero and as part of the
promotional campaign, started a sort of alternate reality game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_reality_game)
with his fans that included distribution of his new singles on USB
Keys.... his record label thought he was infinging on the copy rights
of his own songs. Later that year, the record label released a single
from Year Zero (survivalism) which was _not_ the single that Reznor
wanted. He retaliated by leaking the single he wanted (my violent
heart) and even encouraging some radio stations to play it instead.
I followed this link from boingboing and it's a great read from Reznor on why he's angry and what he's planning on doing.Âhttp://www.music2dot0.com/archives/36
Plans
include migrating to a direct distribution system (albums may be as
cheap as $4) which the reunited Pixies have been pulling off for a
while now. Â
Enjoy the read.

As an aside, they mention him putting on a hell of a show in China... I
don't know if any of you have seen him perform live or not, but he has
the absolute best looking and sounding show I've ever seen. I've been
to 6 NIN concerts and will catch them every chance I get, I highly
recommend their show even if you're not a huge fan when they swing
through your area. | |
