Here is yet another story on the example of the changes taking place in the recording industry, Nine Inch Nails gave their new album “The Slip” away for free to their fans prior to it hitting store shelves. Whether or not this truly is a good business model is probably yet to be seen over the long term, however the important thing, especially for small, indies is that the control has shifted….from the labels, the guys in the suits to the artists, where I think it should have been all along.
