Let me just stop here for a second and say that personally, I haven't listened to NiN much since the Downward Spiral phase, but if there's one album I'm gonna buy this year (I usually go to concerts and buy t-shirts, as I feel the band profits more directly from this; I have quite a collection), it's going to be this one. Finally, you get good value for your money, and you get a fantastic number of options which cater to every pocket. I'm sure that fans will realize this and get the option they can afford, be it free, or the ultra-deluxe one.
Here's what the band has to say about BitTorrent: “Now that we’re no longer constrained by a record label, we’ve decided to personally upload Ghosts I, the first of the four volumes, to various torrent sites, because we believe BitTorrent is a revolutionary digital distribution method, and we believe in finding ways to utilize new technologies instead of fighting them.”
