The new Business Model for the Music Industry

These are 15 minutes well spent on the success of Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails (NIN) by giving away his music for free (licensed with Creative Commons) and offering more value for money. I bought the Ghost I-IV as a CD and I put it on my shelf. But I’ve also downloaded the music and listen to them on iTunes.

Why I bought something that is available for free? Because I want to support Creative Commons work and this was an awesome stunt by Trent Reznor.

CwF + RtB = $$$
Connect with Fans + Reason to Buy = Money and Success

This formula works for so much more than just music!
