NIN: Ghosts I-IV

This past weekend Trent Reznor released collaborative music experiment under the moniker "NIN: Ghosts I-IV". 

"The rules were as follows: 10 weeks, no clear agenda, no over-thinking, everything driven by impulse. Whatever happens during that time gets released as... something." ~ Trent Reznor

Using an online marketing technique similar to that used for Radiohead's "In Rainbows" digital release, Trent is offering a tiered pricing structure that ranges from FREE (for the first 9 tracks), to $5 (for all 36 tracks), to the already SOLD OUT $300 Ultra-Deluxe Limited Edition Package. At a limited run of 2500, thats a gross profit of $750,000 for this package alone. Not too shabby for a 10-week experiment.
