Just straying off the Samizdata reservation for a moment...a pointer for Nine Inch Nails fans: Trent Reznor is giving away his latest record The Slip, and it is 100% free... to download it, go here. Reznor has released it under Creative Commons, which is a very interesting development.

Radiohead did something similar recently. They may be socialist misery-mongers, but they are not entirely unaccomplished as musicians. Perfect soundtrack to a Paul Marks article...

Oh, sweet! Gotta love it when a musician hands their stuff out for free. Honestly, I haven't listened to them since The Downward Spiral way back when. This is a sign that I should give them another try.

Radiohead have said they won't be doing it again (and they're charging for the rights to remix their music too)

Trent Reznor seems to be releasing everything under a Creative Commons license allowing free distribution and remixing these days.

He'll be banking on fans buying the CDs and vinyl when they arrive, and on coming to see his shows. I suspect he also has quite a bit of money anyway.
