This was originally on NIN.com but I posted it on my blog, because I know that the post won't be there for long.

Interesting Post From Mr. Reznor « We have such sights to show you…

This is pretty disheartening.

Hm... interesting... and disheartening...

Zepp88 · 01-11-2008, 03:22 AM

Yeah man, It's just sad that people won't choose to pay $5 for a piece of music.

I almost want to buy Sauls album now, but I wouldn't be able to download it.

Naren · 01-11-2008, 04:11 AM

I wouldn't pay $5 for something I downloaded, but I would be willing to pay $10-15 for a CD with the music on it.

(I don't want to pay money for something unless I physically receive something. Just a personal thing, I guess)

Of course, if you consider yourself a fan of his work and didn't pay money, it's almost like, "Yeah, I'm a fan, but I want this to be the last album he ever releases."

Zepp88 · 01-11-2008, 04:15 AM

I like giving artists money for their work. But I too prefer having a physical CD and booklet and the nice packaging. It's all part of the artwork to me

I really respect Trents efforts, although I worry about the new NIN album. Will Trent actually release a CD or will it be digital download only.

Naren · 01-11-2008, 04:17 AM

If it's digital download only, I definitely won't be getting it.

I like having the case for the CD, the booklet with the artwork, and all that nifty stuff. With downloads, all you got is the music (which is nice, but I want something that it's recored on). I wouldn't buy movies for download either. I want a DVD or BluRay. Not just some immaterial data on my harddrive.

Maybe its me, but I find so much wrong with this approach its not even funny, and what worse its late so I don't feel like going into it right now. I can kinda sum it up this way though, arrogance + anticipation does not equal sales, and that Reznor would think so means his thinking is just an antiquated as the industry he's screaming against.

Too bad too, because this Saul Williams appears to be quite the intellect.

More on this when I have time/sleep. Promise.

It seems Trent can be arrogant and stubborn at times. I support his views though, the music industry pumps out a lot of garbage to make a quick buck, and chokes any actual art out of the equation.

I don't agree with digital downloads, it's incomplete to me, hence why I don't use the iTunes store.

That said I'd really like to hear what you have to say about the subject.

I won't pay 5 cents for something called "Niggy Tardust."

WTF were they thinking?
