Nine Inch Nails are probably one of the most important music groups in the world, currently, simply because they're paving a new way of treating their fans and understanding how the internet works and how it can be used to your advantage.

After giving away (or selling at really cheap prices) several of their latest albums, they've continued to surprise fans with freebies. In a blog post on the official band web site, band leader Trent Reznor says that someone "somehow managed to film a substantial amount (over 400 GB!) of raw, unedited HD footage from three separate complete shows of our Lights in the Sky tour," and provides a link to the footage.

Many other bands *cough* Metallica *cough* would be angry at quality footage of their shows being leaked on the internet for free, but the Nine Inch Nails have simply embraced this as yet another possibility to give something extra to their loyal fanbase. Of course, there's always the possibility that the NIN actually filmed and released the footage themselves, but it's irrelevant; what's important is the fact that this band understands that they provide a wealth of fun and happiness to their listeners and that most of it should be freely shared, not divided into little pieces, hidden, and sold for the highest possible price.
