NIN says bye bye to record label

I got a text this morning that Nine Inch Nails and TVT have parted ways.
Nine Inch Nails frontman, Trent Reznor, wrote on the group's Web site that after 18 years with a record label, the group has finally achieved free-agent status.
“I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different,” Reznor wrote on his site, “and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate.”
NIN recently released Year Zero, and shortly after Reznor made waves in the music industry for embracing file sharing.

Here are some Nine Inch Nails videos from YouTube.
