Free music…
Rock group Nine Inch Nails did the unthinkable today. They allowed fans to download their new album for free. It marks the first time that a major music artist has done this.
One of the band members said it best, “acknowledge what the marketplace is already showing us: free exists whether you want to acknowledge it or not. Let’s acknowledge that, use it and do something with it.”
I love that mentality…somebody needs to tell the gas companies that.

On May 5, 2008 at 10:45 pmjohnjohn what will happen if all the artists start doing that? this is so odd. I think people only want what they can’t have so that’s y getting it free is so cool. its like beer before it was legalized. so maybe if artists do this it will be like reverse psychology. I don’t know about everyone else but ill continue to pay for good music.
