Trent Reznor wants his Chinese fans to "illegally" download his music.
Man, I fall in love with this man more and more each day.
According to an interview he gave in Beijing last week:
- "As for the special situation in China, it does not seem to be easy to
obtain Western music via legal channels, so I have the following
suggestion for our fans: If you can find and buy our legal CDs, I
express my thanks for your support. If you cannot find it, I think that
downloading from the Internet is a more acceptable option than buying
pirated CDs. Our music is easy to find on the Internet, and you might
not need to spend much effort to find most of our songs. If you like
our songs after you've heard them, please feel free to share it with
your friends. As I have put all my effort and heart into my music, I
sincerely hope that more and more people can share the enjoyment with
us."

I'm surprised i haven't seen this article on digg yet. There could be an article about Trent Reznor taking a dump and it would have 24904 diggs.
No kidding... Trent Reznor: "I steal music too" (Can't wait until you can legally download his albums directly on the Internet for $5)
I knew the DIGG community would pull through -
