Wow.. NiN just released their new album on Torrent sites to download for free. Now why can't every band be that nice??? Trent Resnor is apperantly in the frame of mind that Torrents are the best way to go.

The first vol of Ghosts is currently available. All 4 volumes will also be available eventually on torrent. You can also download them for $5 (all 4 volumes) on their official site.

Every band does this now, they just don't talk about it. Every band I listen to anyways pre-releases their albums on torrents. If people don't buy their CD it doesn't mean anything to them. But the bands I listen to make all their money in tours and T-shirt sales. So if you think about it giving the people a reason to go to your concert is the best way to go. You could have them blow 15 bucks on your CD or 30 on a ticket to your show, plus a 30 dollar T-shirt, and maybe buy the CD at your show to.

This would be way cooler if Nine Inch Nails didn't suck so hard.
