Now we all know that downloading music illegally in wrong, and I'm sure Nine Inch Nails' frontman Trent Reznor does too, which is why he's being ever so naughty in telling a large crowd of Australian fans to do just that. Well, actually, he told them to "steal it", which could be seen to be condoning shop lifting too but, whatever the anti-piracy people say, shop lifting still seems even more naughty than downloading via P2P, so let's assume that's what he meant.
Anyway, while onstage in Sydney Reznor asked the crowd if CD prices had come down since his last visit to Australia (he having made much about how expensive CDs were there on a previous Aussie tour), a question which was greeted with a large number of "no" votes from the crowd. This led Trent to advise: "Well, you know, what that means: steal it. Steal away. Steal and steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealing, because one way or another these motherfuckers [his record company, presumably, Universal Music] are going to get it through their head that they're ripping people off and that's not right". So you hear him guys. Though Reznor admitted that by giving such advice he was "probably not gonna make too many friends".
