Boing Boing: “Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails was in Beijing last week for a rock
festival. In a great, inflammatory interview with Music2dot0, Reznor
excoriates the labels, promises to go independent and sell through his
website — and he exhorts Chinese fans to download his music for free
rather than buying it from pirate CD sellers.”
“As for the special situation in China, it does not seem
to be easy to obtain Western music via legal channels, so I have the
following suggestion for our fans: If you can find and buy our legal
CDs, I express my thanks for your support. If you cannot find it, I
think that downloading from the Internet is a more acceptable option
than buying pirated CDs. Our music is easy to find on the Internet, and
you might not need to spend much effort to find most of our songs. If
you like our songs after you’ve heard them, please feel free to share
it with your friends. As I have put all my effort and heart into my
music, I sincerely hope that more and more people can share the
enjoyment with us.”
