Today, Nine Inch Nails relased Ghosts I-IV under a Creative Commons non-commercial share-alike license.

Gorgeous, in so many ways.

Update: Here's the complete Ghosts I-IV torrent.

Ironically, a CC license seems to be the ideal solution to the whole problem of slashdotting an artist's website. Early adopters have swamped the email-driven download link system (which allows for some traffic control by itself), but paying customers are still not always getting what they paid for, sometimes because of their own net connections, which are obviously out of the artist's control. So licensing those who have it to share it means every customer can get what they paid for with a lot less fuss and frustration.
