I'm Free-to do what I want

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Hello everyone. I've waited a LONG time to be able to make the
following announcement: as of right now Nine Inch Nails is a totally
free agent, free of any recording contract with any label. I have
been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the
business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very
different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a
direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate.
Look for some announcements in the near future regarding 2008.
Exciting times, indeed.

Maybe they'll set an example how to live without the record buisnesses intervention?

Judging by the stuff he's orchestrated whilst still in a contract I think lack of forthcoming releases will be far from the case. As examples, he's already given away the base samples for his latest album and leaked the multi-DVD "Closure" collection (all videos & live tour doc) onto p2p.

He seems to embrace all the things that most labels despise so I hope and, to some extent, expect him to surprise a few people........
