Just straying off the Samizdata reservation for a moment…a pointer for Nine Inch Nails fans: Trent Reznor is giving away his latest record The Slip, and it is 100% free… to download it, go here. Reznor has released it under Creative Commons, which is a very interesting development.

We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people. Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house] Authors

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Radiohead did something similar recently. They may be socialist misery-mongers, but they are not entirely unaccomplished as musicians. Perfect soundtrack to a Paul Marks article…
Oh, sweet! Gotta love it when a musician hands their stuff out for free. Honestly, I haven’t listened to them since The Downward Spiral way back when. This is a sign that I should give them another try.
Radiohead have said they won’t be doing it again (and they’re charging for the rights to remix their music too)
Trent Reznor seems to be releasing everything under a Creative Commons license allowing free distribution and remixing these days.
He’ll be banking on fans buying the CDs and vinyl when they arrive, and on coming to see his shows. I suspect he also has quite a bit of money anyway.
