Nine Inch Nails has just released the first volume of their new album “Ghosts” on BitTorrent sites as a free download. The band encourages its fans to share the album with friends, post it on websites and play it on podcasts

“Ghosts” is released under a non-commercial Creative Commons license and can be shared freely, something their fans weren’t allowed to do when the band was held back by a record label.
In the release notes the band writes: “Now that we’re no longer constrained by a record label, we’ve decided to personally upload Ghosts I, the first of the four volumes, to various torrent sites, because we believe BitTorrent is a revolutionary digital distribution method, and we believe in finding ways to utilize new technologies instead of fighting them.”

For now, only the first volume has been uploaded onto BitTorrent sites, but the entire collection is available for download on the official website for only $5

The free download can be obtained from here:

This seems a more artist friendly way of doing business folks, the middle man has been ousted and this allows the group to obtain all the profit from their hard work. Lets hope other artist try this model and have good results.
