Nine Inch Nails has made their latest album, the slip, available for free download on their internet.
It is available in high quality MP3, FLAC lossless, MP4 Apple Lossless, and high quality WAVE.
They have made individual songs available for free on the Internet, but not full albums. Plus have made other versions of their music available online in different formats.
Thanks to Dave Fleet for letting me know about this.
Update: I did download the album, MP3, and it is pretty good. I enjoyed the album and look forward to listening to it again.
On my flight today on Frontier Airlines I was watching VH1 Classic and
Totally 80′s. The clothing and hair is bad, id don’t remember it bad
then, was it?
The type of music they are playing is quite diverse also. The set
started with Bobby Brown, then to the Go Gos, .38 Special, and then
Depeche Mode. Quite diverse.
For some reason I like the 80′s.
I like Jonathan Coulton’s music and like listening to Veronica Belmont, Merlin Mann, and Leo Laporte.
It is a pretty funny video and they did pretty good on the song in Rock Band.
You can read more about Veronica’s experience on her blog. If you haven’t seen any of Veronica’s Video Podcast on Mahalo Daily, on a couple of episodes she breaks out the guitar and plays guitar hero. She is pretty good.
It looks like Sony BMG is going DRM free through the Amazon Music Store. This is the last major record label that is doing this.
I think that it is pretty cool and will have to start looking at the Amazon Music Store when I am looking to purchase my music. I currently purchase a CD or download it through the iTunes music store, but this looks entriguing since it is higher quality and DRM free.
Thanks to Tom Merritt for posting this article.
In the Fight Over Piracy, a Rare Stand for Privacy – New York Times
The University of Oregon with the backing of the State Attorney General has appealed a subpoena from the RIAA on grounds that it is seeking to violate the students privacy. It is an interesting read and justification on not responding to the subpoena. Other Universities have responded, including another state university in Oregon.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Of course, the RIAA is dismayed that a University didn’t bow and kiss their ring and pass along their letters or abide by the subpoena.
Engadget is now reporting that the RIAA is not suing the Scottsdale, Ariz., gentleman for ripping cds, they are suing him for plain old downloading.
This was reported widely that he was being sued in the Washington Post and several other outlets. I spoke about it yesterday in a post.
The RIAA is getting quite aggressive, as was pointed out in the engadget article, and is treading on thin ground. Especially if they want to get a ruling on the ripping of legally owned cds.
