Am I the only one that gets a little pissy thinking that this is nothing but pure content thievery? There was a sum total TWO paragraphs of OC there - the rest was a re-post of Trent's entire post. A link would have sufficed. A couple of quotes would've been fine but the whole post? That's content theft as far as I'm concerned.
- mapleoin 17y agothere's the link to the original post at the beginning. I found reading the whole post on stereogum's site more relaxing however.

- carbon8 17y agoMaybe you do. That's solidly among the reasons some of us use open software.
- snorkel 17y agoAlthough Trent Reznor is not some poor blogger needing ad revenue and so he probably wouldn't mind his missives being rebroadcast verbatim.
- ScottWhigham 17y agoI don't see how that matters. Theft is theft, isn't it? The flip side could be that, since Trent Reznor is an important name, he could feel the need to stand up for all the little guys who get their content stolen yet can't afford to do anything about it.
