Nine Inch Nails tell fans to steal

Trent Reznor, never the most eloquent speaker, makes comment: "STEAL IT. Steal away. Steal and steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealin'. Because one way or another these mother****ers will get it through their head that they're ripping people off and that's not right."

Edit [by Dan]: Australian blogger, and one of my favourite frequent reads, The Null Device picks some other quotes here.
I found another great example of this when I was looking for the new PJ Harvey 7" at lunch time. Two track PJ Harvey 7" in slipcase, £4. Four track 7" EP in nice gatefold sleeve by some band I've never heard of, £2. Is Polly more bankable so they can get away with it? Can they justify it as making a loss on the new artist who is being subsidised by the established artist? Or are they just taking advantage of fans?
