It’s no secret that OiNK was full of different people, ranging from teenagers in high school to accountants from Sweden. Now Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor himself is publicly admitting he used OiNK for pirating music. “I steal music too, I’m not gonna say I don’t” says Reznor.
In a recent interview with New York Magazine, Reznor talks about how OiNK was the “world’s greatest record store” thanks to its content and quality. What really bugs him is iTunes and Apple’s way of selling music.
“iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me. I don’t feel cool when I go there. I’m tired of seeing John Mayer’s face pop up. I feel like I’m being hustled when I visit there, and I don’t think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc.”
I’m sure many of us feel the same way – especially regarding John Mayer’s face popping up every second. Glad to see that a huge player in the music industry like Trent is on our side.

Where did you get the Trent quote “I steal music too, I’m not gonna say I don’t” What he said was “If OiNK cost anything, I would certainly have paid, but there isn’t the equivalent of that in the retail space right now.”
Did you just make up that quote or what? It’s certainly not on the page you are citing. I wouldn’t put it past you, Vince. You made up a 1 million dollar prize for that Halo 3 contest, where the top prize is only 250k.
But then, since when do facts matter in reporting, right Vince? It’s all about the humor. ^_^
