Trent Reznor: Steal Our Music

I’ve been a fan of Nine Inch Nails for quite a few years now for a few different reasons. One, they manage to continuously create great music that’s not simply rehashed. They try to keep things unique. It’s not so much of a surprise, since group leader Trent Reznor is a unique individual himself, and here’s why. According to TechAmok, he was recently recorded at a recent concert urging fans to steal their music so that the RIAA would get it through their heads that they are ridiculous and doing everything wrong.

As much as I love Reznor’s advice, it’s obvious that “Reznor told me to.” is not going to keep you out of jail. Hopefully something good can come out of it from his actions alone, without fans going through drastic measures.

His contract with Universal is almost up (only one more album to go, which is reportedly coming soon), I can’t wait to see what he’s going to do as an independent. If he does start releasing his albums online in FLAC or whatnot for $5, I’ll be buying every single one, just to support the principle. Maybe he’ll make some “NIN – Now RIAA free!” T-shirts and sell them himself too.
