reblogged via fascinated: Nine Inch Nails released a new record today.  It is free (as in beer and speech) and is licensed under a Creative Commons license, according to the liner notes. Listening now. Trent is answering all those questions we’ve had for years with his actions. What if artists released their work directly and retained their rights?  What if their releases were free and remixable?  Would it matter?  We will find out shortly, thank you Trent. I knew that they were going to release it for free but didn’t know it was going to be this type of license. Need to check it out. This is pretty wild stuff.

    If a 2 minute video on youtube can gain mainstream attention, then i think music promoted through the net has a chance.
