I'm not a huge fan of his music, but I'll probably buy a NIN album during my next music binge simply to "give to those who give back." While I don't dl commercial music, I dl more than my share of concerts at places like EZ. Bands that give support to their fans in doing this get some great publicity and play. Hard to understand why so few "artists" understand this.

A couple of examples that quickly come to mind:</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.zeropaid.com/news/8768/Trent+Reznor%3A+%27No+wonder+people+steal+music%27">
* The ABSURD retail pricing of Year Zero in Australia.  Shame on you, UMG. Year Zero is selling for $34.99 Australian dollars ($29.10 US). No wonder people  steal music. Avril Lavigne's record in the same store was $21.99  ($18.21 US). By the way, when I asked a label rep about this his  response was: "It's because we know you have a real core audience that  will pay whatever it costs when you put something out - you know, true  fans. It's the pop stuff we have to discount to get people to buy."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.zeropaid.com/news/8768/Trent+Reznor%3A+%27No+wonder+people+steal+music%27">So... I guess as a reward for being a "true fan" you get ripped off.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.zeropaid.com/news/8768/Trent+Reznor%3A+%27No+wonder+people+steal+music%27">When was the last time you heard J-Lo or any of the other "top" acts like Usher or Justin Timberlake complain about high-priced CDs?
