- Posted on Mar 25th 2008 1:00PM by Kim Davis
"It's a stance we're taking. With all of the nonsense that's going on these days ... I can't change the world, but I can do what I think is right." --Trent Reznor
Nine Inch Nails' mastermind explained why he released all tracks off the band's latest album, 'Ghosts,' under the creative commons license, which allows people to use the music for non-commercial purposes without penalty.More on 'Ghosts' From Reznor

Now this guy is smart. No wonder he brought the Dresden Dolls to tour (awesome band).

Not really all that bold of an idea. Grateful Dead was already doing this a long time ago, letting people actually record their concerts and give the music away as long as they didn't use it commercially. Great idea anyway, though.

I applaud Trent Reznor on his bold move towards self-dissemination of his music and eschewing the old world model of label control.
