Just last week we posted about Radiohead’s new pay-what-you-want pricing for their new album. Today, Trent Reznor announces that Nine Inch Nails is now “a totally free agent, free of any recording contract with any label.” He goes on to write: “I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate.” Hopefully, more and more artists will free themselves from the bonds of the music industry and record labels. When they do, new and old fans alike will be here to support them even more than before. (via MarshallK’s twitter)
