Trent Reznor Admits To Having OiNK Account

Nine Inch Nails main man Trent Reznor has revealed that he had an OiNK account and has defended the music bit-torrent site.

Reznor evenm says that he would have paid for the service if he had been asked to do so because it was so much better than any legal download site.

He told New York magazine: "I'll admit I had an account there and frequented it quite often. At the end of the day, what made OiNK a great place was that it was like the world's greatest record store.

“Pretty much anything you could ever imagine, it was there, and it was there in the format you wanted.

He added "If OiNK cost anything, I would certainly have paid, but there isn't the equivalent of that in the retail space right now.

“iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me. I don't feel cool when I go there. I'm tired of seeing John Mayer's face pop up."

OiNK was shut down on October 23 after its founder was arrested in a joint operation between Interpol and British and Dutch police forces.
