I bought NIN's album for $5 on Amazon to support Trent for distributing his work in an enlightened manner. $5 for 3 dozen CD-quality tracks, DRM-free, off Amazon. Download was as fast as iTunes or Steam or any other respectable online download service.
I made the decision to do that after downloading the first part of it for free on the Pirate Bay.
It was the first time I bought music fair and square in about 10 years.
- ArcticCelt 19y agoI have very fond memories of my sumer of 1991 listening to [Pretty Hate Machine]( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Hate_Machine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Hate_Machine ) while doing a road trip that ended with an unplanned stop at washington's [Lollapalooza 1991 ]( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lollapalooza http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lollapalooza ) with NIN playing. To see that particular band be one of the rare ones to act like "real" artists make me happy.
- Xichekolas 19y agoFYI, you can get the first nine tracks for free on the official website. No need to hit the Pirate Bay. http://ghosts.nin.com/main/order_options http://ghosts.nin.com/main/order_options I too paid the $5 for the whole thing, partly to support the distribution model, partly because of the 36 kickass tracks. One of my friends bought the $300 set. I'm planning to experience that vicariously through him.
- henning 19y agoThe downloads on their site were down on Monday due to overwhelming demand.
- Xichekolas 19y agoYeah that was kinda sad... it's the reason I ended up just using the Amazon link... thankfully I don't really care about the FLAC versions.
