Trent Reznor wants his Chinese fans to illegally download his music

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."

	miz. imperfect: 09/13/2007 2:45 PM all ppl who do this are awesoem!
	Alcy: 09/14/2007 8:11 AM Agreed. There's no excuse for purchasing bootlegs. If you want an illegal copy of something, why pay someone else to do your dirty work (funding organized crime in the process)?
