Trent Reznor says:
“…Has anyone seen the price [of music] come down? Okay, well, you know what that means — STEAL IT. Steal away. Steal and steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealin’. Because one way or another these mother****ers will get it through their head that they’re ripping people off and that’s not right.’
The song afterward is exceptional too, I think trent released 80% of the garage band files for his year zero cd on the internet, resulting in a fan remixed double album, which is more or less better than the original…
Yeah, I heard all about his Garage Band styles. Good man. Open source music is taking flight! haha
Ah good old Trent!! I have to confess to being a lie long fan of NIN!! Although his lyrics maybe somewhat warped and offend the sensibilites of many, I can’t shake the fact that the music he makes is fresh and ground breaking given that he was at it 15 or so years ago!! He was a pioneer then with his industrial sound, and the fact that it was all produced by him and of course I am not surprised now to see the stance he is taking about making his music available!! The sooner the big music corporations stop ripping off artists and the consumers at large the better ;)!! All hail the revolution comrades!!
