Reznor once blasted his record company for inflating the price of CDs in regions with a bigger fanbase, claiming "as a reward for being a 'true fan' you get ripped off", and urging fans at a concert in Australia to "steal" his songs.Needless to say, Reznor was furious and, along with further Executive Meddling of his music, is the reason he went independent after Year Zero was released. Since then, he's left record labels (apart from Hesitation Marks which was released through Columbia Records) and now acts as a free agent with an emphasis on digital distribution, putting out an album with a "pay-what-you-want" system ( Ghosts I-IV), and three for free ( The Slip, Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts). In the same breath, Reznor commented that it's OK to download his music because "he's rich" and then went on to say that it was his call, not the fans or the company, to make that offer.
