In case you're having trouble getting the official free distribution (I was..), there's an official torrent for it too. Download it, it's awesome. Being under a CC license, the whole set can actually be redistributed, but I would rather support them by purchasing it

There's the first 9 tracks for free in 128 Kbps MP3s, $5 gives you downloads for all 36 songs in 320 Kbps MP3, FLAC, and/or Apple Lossless formats, $10 gives you two physical CDs, $75 gives you a data DVD with wave files to make remixing the album easier, $300 would get you a limited-edition including ultra-high-quality on Blu-ray and vinyls of the album. Obviously a very smart move Reznor is making

I find this an interesting and perhaps overdue development. However, I think, for musicians to be able to make decent money on a voluntary-payment basis on the internet, it's important that the process of paying for things online becomes at least as trivial and hassle-free as throwing a 20ct coin into the hat of a street musician. Right now, even the most usability-focused "e-money" solutions seem to be bureaucratic beyond a reasonable treshold (How many of those of us who readily reward a sappy tune in a public place with a coin fling would consider writing and signing 20-cent cheques instead?).

In all the upheaval, I wonder how the RIAA will react to the threat of influence loss...

NIN isn't exactly my favorite band, but I download it and give the songs a spin for great justice. Especially since this is a step in the right direction.
