THE NIN HOTLINE

Trent Sez:

Many of you may already be aware of Trent Reznor's views regarding the sharing of mp3's on the internet, but in case there was any doubt, musicunited.org drives the point home with the following quote:

Trent Reznor, member of Nine Inch Nails: "Just because technology exists where you can duplicate something, that doesn’t give you the right to do it. There’s nothing wrong with giving some tracks away or bits of stuff that’s fine. But it’s not everybody’s right. Once I record something, it’s not public domain to give it away freely. And that’s not trying to be the outdated musician who is trying to ‘stop technology. I love technology."

So there. Thanks to .broxys for sending this in.
