Yeah, this is a blog about technology but I love music and I love NIN so skip this one if you think it's silly.

Today, NIN released their latest album, The Split, for free on the Internet.  Yep, for free!  You can even download the tracks to create your own remixes.

Why?  I do buy CDs but kids don't.  They download and they don't see any value in spending cash when it's there to download.  So there is less and less money to be made from selling CDs.  And when dinausors like me will disapear, they'll stop making them.

This marks the beginning of the death of the CD and the music industry as we know it.

Will software follow that path?
