Cheapskating: Free Nine Inch Nails DVD download

What does Nine Inch Nails do when a venue demands a ton of money to let a professional camera crew in the door to film a concert? They rely on non-professionals to get the job done: Trent Reznor and company weren’t going to cough up the big bucks to shoot at New York’s Webster Hall Aug. 23 when they played their 1994 opus The Downward Spiral in its entirety, but the industrial-metal group’s open filming policy gave fans a loophole to exploit—and exploit it they did. Thanks to a bevy of amateur videographers, a few dudes donating their video-editing skills, and the blessing of Reznor himself, the fan-produced The Downward Spiral: Live is linked up through Nine Inch Nails’ official website to a torrent link. You may never again have the opportunity to see Reznor tell you he wants to fuck you like an animal, but with a click of a mouse and a little bit of bandwidth, you can relive those magic moments forever.
