Trent Reznor 'disheartened' by state of music industry

Radiohead-like business model has disappointing results for record he produced

I still think of it as a positive thing. As a direct result of this article I have now downloaded an album (albeit for free) by an artist who I may not have checked out in the past. Now that I have the album I would be more interested in paying to go to his shows, buying his back catalogue and so on. Even a free download creates an awareness of an artist, and as Radiohead have shown this week, a later CD release of the same product can still top the charts. If anything, Radiohead's "free" download helped boost interest and sales in the official CD version of their album.
