This One Is On Us
March 2nd, 2009 | Published in Fan Created
Following the free, creative commons-licensed release of “The Slip”, Nine Inch Nails went on tour. They planned to make a DVD of the concert, but the video production company pulled out at the last minute, leaving Trent no other option but to allow video cameras into the arena for the last few shows of the tour.
Afterward, NIN unofficially released video and audio from the soundboard for those shows as torrents on the Internet, and a group of fans got together to start editing the DVD together. They’re producing discs as regular DVDs and Blu-Ray, printing, packaging and shipping them for free. Trent Rezor gave away an album, and now his fans are showing him how much they appreciated it.
The fan site is called This One Is On Us, and though the DVDs are not yet ready, they have created torrents for the audio portion in 320 Kb MP3 and FLAC format.
