  • serif69, on 03/30/2009, -1/+3My question almost to the letter. While I am not a fan of his music, I think Trent has done a great job of promoting an alternative business model that could work for big name acts and up-and-coming bands alike.
  • Velvolver, on 04/03/2009, -0/+1Be good for one.
  • chrisjscott, on 04/02/2009, -0/+1Kind of a skewed question to ask, considering that NIN was already huge before embarking on their new digital ditrivution efforts (which are incredible, no doubt, I just don't think Reznor's experience can be translated to an up-andcomer, as a result).
  • alexstone, on 04/06/2009, -0/+0There's actually a new startup coming out really soon that is hopefully going to solve this solution of giving independant artists a way to take advantage of digital distribution without sucking them dry.

    bookmark it now and check back. not sure exactly when they launch, but it should be sometime really soon (maybe even this week. they're on Twitter @ossia - and it looks like they're trying to get ready in time for Trent's Digg Dialogue event)
  • Namesbond, on 03/31/2009, -3/+2Dugg down I have heard him answer this question on a radio show. Sorry, can't cite it.
  • AndrewMoffat, on 03/30/2009, -1/+0It would be a awesome if he would be one of the first big name artists on musicslu.com. The video explains the revolutionary model that I could see Mr. Reznor aligning himself with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tfRxbqEUOw
