NIN's Trent Reznor Considers Legal Fight Over Guantanamo Song Use

Posted over 3 years ago

MUSIC NEWS - Nine Inch Nails man, Trent Reznor recently spoke out against the use of the band's music for the purpose of torture at Guantanamo Bay. As many know, the US military continues to broadcast excruciatingly loud music in order to 'break' prisoners, but Reznor is firmly opposed to the practice. On his blog, he says: "It's difficult for me to imagine anything more profoundly insulting, demeaning and enraging than discovering music you've put your heart and soul into creating has been used for purposes of torture. "If there are any legal options that can be realistically taken they will be aggressively pursued, with any potential monetary gains donated to human rights charities."

He ends the post by taking a swing at the outgoing US president: "Thank GOD this country has appeared to side with reason and we can put the Bush administration's reign of power, greed, lawlessness and madness behind us." Read Trent Reznor's post for full comment. Check out this new initiative, ZerodB , that's been created gathering support from musicians and fans who want to see 'torture by music' banned.
