“Hello everyone. I’ve waited a LONG time to be able to make the
following announcement: as of right now Nine Inch Nails is a totally
free agent, free of any recording contract with any label. I have
been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the
business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very
different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a
direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate.
Look for some announcements in the near future regarding 2008.
Exciting times, indeed.”
Long story short for those who aren’t up on NINE INCH NAILS news — after fighting to release an album which could easily be seen as slander towards the world and governments (in this day and age), and finding out his CDs are being sold for as much as double other releases overseas specifically (Australia was the straw that broke the camel’s back), and then telling Interscope to shove it and promoting illegal downloading — Trent Reznor is now a free man.
If record companies should be afraid of anyone who has creativity – this is the guy to be scared of.
Nine Inch Nails on Myspace
I’d give you a link to buy the album, but that feeds Interscope most.
I’d give you a download link, but i’m not really interested in jail time.
If you know what to do, you know what to do.
