Ghosts I–IV 

Last night, Nine Inch Nails released their new album Ghosts I–IV under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license. So what exactly does that mean? Well, you can share and remix the music so long as you attribute them to Nine Inch Nails, you don’t make any money off of it, and you distribute any work you’ve altered/transformed/built upon under the same license. Easy pie.

The album is a 36-track instrumental — “almost two hours of new music composed and recorded over an intense 10-week period last fall,” says their website.

Go grab Ghosts I–IV and read more about this at the Creative Commons Blog. If you don’t want to pay anything, you’ll be able to get the first nine tracks; a mere $5 gets you all 36 tracks.

Fun fact: That Other Paper is one of very few Creative Commons licensed publications. Learn more about our license here.
