 == Overview ==
-On 2 March 2008, prominent and polemic American noir rock band [http://nin.com/ Nine Inch Nails (NIN)] departed from previous music industry management practices by releasing [http://ghosts.nin.com ''Ghosts I-IV''] under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA licence. Giving fans the ability to remix and redistribute the work from a multitude of different formats, ''Ghosts I-IV'' (aka ''Halo 26'') encapsulates the free spirit of the age to rip, mix, and share, creating a community of ardent followers. The thirty-six track album is divided into four parts, with the first nine unnamed tracks offered for free download, and the entire album available for $US5 as well as in a variety of pressings and packages at different price points. This move has been widely regarded as a master stroke for the band: by selling an accompanying $US300 ‘ultra-deluxe limited edition’ version of the album on vinyl, NIN netted $1.6 million overnight. Expanding the album into the ‘visual world’ a week after release, front-man Trent Reznor announced the launch of the [http://www.youtube.com/group/ninghosts ''Ghosts Film Festival'' project on YouTube], calling for users’ film and audio submissions to ‘be as creative as you like.’
