Really cool to see this:
All of the download options include DRM-free 320kbps mp3, FLAC, or Apple Lossless.Nine Inch Nails presents Ghosts I - IV, a brand new 36 track instrumental collection available right now. Almost two hours of new music composed and recorded over an intense ten week period last fall, Ghosts I - IV sprawls Nine Inch Nails across a variety of new terrain.
Trent Reznor explains, "I've been considering and wanting to make this kind of record for years, but by its very nature it wouldn't have made sense until this point. This collection of music is the result of working from a very visual perspective - dressing imagined locations and scenarios with sound and texture; a soundtrack for daydreams. I'm very pleased with the result and the ability to present it directly to you without interference. I hope you enjoy the first four volumes of Ghosts."

Since he is free from a record label (and loaded, haha), he's able to do this kind of thing now. The RIAA and industry as a whole could definitely learn something from this. I bought the $5 download just to support the idea.
Haha, the site is getting hammered so bad right now, so if you wanna buy it you might have to wait, or keep refreshing. He said if your download fails, they'll let you do it again later, because of all the high-traffic problems.
It's hard to justify pirating when you could legally have lossless, perfect quality copies of entire albums for just $5 and support the artist. I hope it's successful and gets enough attention that they give up with the lawsuits and start rethinking their business model.
