Josh Freese is a great drummer. He just wants to spend less time on the road and more time with his kids. Nobody -- especially Trent -- blames him for that. But don't forget, NIN IS TRENT REZNOR. He will find another great drummer. Or maybe Freese will come back. Either way, NIN will continue.
Some of the footage is amazing (until it crashes your piece of &*(& machine). Some of the footage isn't. The point is, it's free, and whatever comes from it will be a positive experience for anyone who chooses to use it, watch it, or sit around drinking Molsons in front of someone's monitor and bust on it.
My five year old has a small telephone book that has the websites, usernames and passwords printed in it in HER handwriting. I defy anyone trying to steal it to make heads or tails of it -- but she can.
It helps keep her organized, and it is yet another way for me to keep track of her Web doings. (I have a copy of her book as well, with dates and hits I compile from the parent monitoring software we installed.) Am I overdoing it? Probably. But she's my kid, and that is my job. Not the government's, not big industry's. MINE. And I take it seriously.
Will this get harder as she gets older? Undoubtedly. But we are trying to educate her in how to be safe, how to be savvy -- trying to lay the groundwork for her to be a conscious, intelligent Internet user.
Trent Reznor has enough money. He has enough fame. He has a loyal audience. He has his health, his sobriety, and a lot more besides. Instead of kowtowing to a pretty much obsolete music industry paradigm, he has chosen to be as innovative with his business as he is with his music. He's not kidding when he tells people to steal his music. He's also not kidding when he books himself on grueling 18 month long ampitheater tours to pay the salaries of the people who work for him. He sees this as the best possible way to be heard, and we hear him. We hear him loud and clear.
You don't want to spend 5 bucks on the game? That's cool with him. You do? Well, he'll make it worth your while to do so with a contest or two. Why? Because he loves us, you moron.

And yeah, I ponied up for Ghosts, but not through Amazon. I ordered it though the official NIN website, and it was worth every penny.
