Although new Nine Inch Nails content has been available online and free at their website, NIN.com for some time now, the band made an interesting announcement on their website yesterday. The brief announcement stated that the band was releasing three new tracks for download but that they would be available via torrent protocol and that the torrents had been uploaded to The Pirate Bay.
The Pirate Bay is and has been, one of the largest and most popular public torrent trackers and the defiance of the admins to bullying by the US entertainment industry has made the site a symbol of the torrent community.
The three songs released are "Capital G", "My Violent Heart" and "Me, Im Not", and NIN's decision to upload these tracks shows that at least one band understands the importance of torrents in reaching out to their target audiences.
