Nine Inch Nails releases new single online for free download, new album on the way?

http://discipline.nin.com
The ID3 “comment” tag says “Go to www.nin.com May 5″. If I had to guess, there’ll likely be a new album avaliable for download at that time.

The embedded artwork can be viewed here

My initial impression is positive, definitely worth the 8.4 MB download.

Microsoft shows the world why Fair Use Circumvention Kits (DRM) are evil

Microsoft’s failed MSN Music download store is shutting down its DRM servers August 31, effectively stealing purchased music from its customers.

Down with DRM, long live amazon.com and other DRM-free music retailers.

Pirate music site OiNK.cd raided, shut down

Apparently, being the site for officially-released music tends to get you noticed by a few people who may not want you to succeed, with rather unfortunate (for the site’s owner) results. With all the blatant infringement that (apparently) occurred on OiNK, I have to wonder what took so long.
