NINE INCH NAILS Remix Site Goes Live
November 29, 2007According to The Pulse of Radio, the NINE INCH NAILS remix site, Remix.NIN.com, has finally gone live after being blocked for several days by Universal Music, parent company of NINE INCH NAILS' former label, Interscope Records. Universal did not want fans using master recordings of other artists in remixes of NINE INCH NAILS songs. Frontman Trent Reznor said online, "Universal feels that if they host our remix site, they will be opening themselves up to the accusation that they are sponsoring the same technical violation of copyright they are suing (YouTube and MySpace) for."
Universal was willing to let NINE INCH NAILS itself take over the remix site, on the condition that Reznor take legal responsibility for any copyright issues regarding other artists' samples.
The NINE INCH NAILS mainman has been encouraging remixes of the band's material at its official web site for several years.
NINE INCH NAILS issued a remix CD of its "Year Zero" album last week, titled "Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D". The album is available as a digital download, a triple-vinyl set and a CD/DVD-ROM.
In other news, NINE INCH NAILS touring guitarist Aaron North has formed a new band called JUBILEE. The group also features QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE bassist Michael Shuman and members of other Los Angeles acts. A CD and digital single called "Rebel Hiss" will be issued on January 21.
