NIN's Trent Reznor Reveals Download Details

Nine Inch Nails front man Trent Reznor has revealed only one in five downloaders voluntarily paid for a new album he produced.

Rapper Saul Williams’ ‘The Inevitable Rise And Liberation Of Niggy Tardust’ was made available on the internet on a voluntary contribution scheme in the same way as Radiohead’s last album ‘In Rainbows’.

However, unlike the received success of Radiohead’s efforts, Reznor - who has previously slammed record company’s for charging too much for CDs - reveals only one in five customers paid the $5 for the download.

He says, “Perhaps by revealing of all our data - our 'dirty laundry' - we can contribute to a better solution."
