And that particular creative common allows everyone to distribute the album for free! (I swear, just read the faq).

And also, radiohead didn't premeditate that this release technique would call everyone to dub them "revolutionists in the music industry". They just wanted to get the album out easily and as quickly as possible. Radiohead’s download was essentially free.

The "album" is total shit, background music for real tracks at best. Radiohead's discbox at a much more reasonable $80 was a bargain, gorgeous package, a fantastic bonus disc, and hey, songs with goddamn lyrics. Sorry if I sound a little jaded here, but NIN totally ripped me off and it's like a kick in the balls that they think they did better than Radiohead on the whole deal.

You took what Radiohead and ran with it, true you released better quality songs, Radiohead clearly weren't considering that much but they're not as huge audiophile douchebags as NIN is. They couldn't even come close to supporting the huge amount of downloading required for Ghosts while RAdiohead did it swimmingly on their first try. Don't offer 600mb of FLACs and 270mb worth of MP3s on the same day if you have no idea what you're dealing with. This is the internet, the word spreads fast even if you announce it as a surprise. NIN failed hard on their delivery. I paid $5 twice, one for MP3s and one for the FLACs, couldn't get the MP3s until three days later and never got the FLACs, had to get them from torrent sites. You offered nothing for free either other than the first "album" of Ghosts... and all we're left with for the money we spend is 2 and a half hours of 3 note elevator music. Radiohead "insincere"? Take a long hard look in the mirror, NIN.
