As many of you recall, NIN has been at the forefront of bands deciding to dump their overbearing, greedy record labels and to forge a path on their own. Reznor was among the first to notice that albums have long been overpriced and that its no wonder that people steal music. From a tour sampler to "Ghosts Vol 1," from "Limitless Potential" to the recent album "The Slip," Reznor and the rest of NIN has been working overtime to reach fans and provide them with FREE music to enjoy.

While on the surface, it appears to be a standard report on the ISPs refusing to comply with the idea of being the copyright police, a section of a very interesting report suggests that the ACTA negotiations have been stalled. It may be an old story being repeated over and over again in Australia, but a report from the report from the Courier Mail in Australia reiterates an issue that has been going on for months. However, the report reveals something else that may be seen for anti-ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) organizations and activists as quite an achievement - insiders of ACTA are suggesting that ACTA has been delayed as a direct result of world-wide opposition. It first details the tension between the Australian Internet Service Providers and the copyright industry. Australian ISPs openly refuse to just cave to demands of a separate industry that claims to be facing significant losses (contrary to numerous studies that suggest otherwise) due to file-sharing.
