Another recording artist recently jumped on the 'doing it my way' bandwagon in the same manner as Radiohead did last last year with their 'In Rainbows' album.

Last week Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) released 'Ghosts I-IV' in multiple pricing flavours and in the space of a single week has earned $US750,000, of which not a single cent goes to any record label.

The price structure for 'Ghosts 1-IV' goes like this:

• Ghosts 1 (a nine track album): $0 for digital download
• Ghosts 1, 2 3 and 4: $5 for digital download
• Ghosts 1, 2 3 and 4: $10 for digital download and physical CD
• Ghosts 1, 2 3 and 4: $75 and $300 for deluxe versions which includes a DVD of the multi track audio files from the project, Blueray disc, videos, packaging etc.

One downside to the digital download effort is the sheer number of people trying to obtain the album. I made 4 attempts on the weekend. But Reznor and Co have responded to this and have made torrents of the files available on Piratebay.

It's freaking fantastic to see artists starting to embrace the technology and have it pay off for them. Grab the torrents here.
