Aye. Trent Reznor (he of Nine Inch nails fame)
has gone down a fairly similar route: Anyhting "old" you can more or less have and post as you wish, just please put your cash down for the new stuff"

And then he gave away The Slip for free ;)
But I totally agree with what you said up there. I admit that I do torrent, but that is mainly due to a small income at the moment, and the fact that I have bought quite a lot of shit albums over the last 10 years on the basis of one single. I still buy CD's and Vinyl for stuff I like though. You can't beat a good physical collection :)

You know he also put up 400gigs worth of HD concert footage
from the last tour as well for fans to edit their own videos etc, right? If you're interested, there's loads of it on youtube and on the nin forums. Also, these guys are making what looks like an awesome live DVD for fans: thisoneisonus.org/
Also, you can get tons of official and fan remix mp3s off their website (including official releases Broken/Fixed etc)
The man is a modern day Robin Hood!
