In March 2009, Nine Inch Nails went around the U.S. for the Lights In The Sky Tour and because they somehow could not get a professional capture team for a commercial release, they released 405GB of free raw HD footage from the tours to their fans, allowing them to do what they please with it.
In January, the fan group This One Is On Us released their creation, in literally every format you could ever need, for free, with the exception of full Blu-ray.
Today, the group has released the BD of “The Gift,” for free, with the torrent available here: The Gift Blu-ray torrent.
The group says the BD is about 19.8GB, and will have 1080p resolution and 5.1 surround sound.
Furthermore, the BD combines footage from all three shows and includes DVD menus, bonus footage, a PDF booklet, and more.
Adds the group on the availability of a physical BD release: “The physical side of the BD release is still ongoing, and updates on that will get posted soon. Once that’s done, there’s one or two more little things to do before we’re done (I’ll announce them when finalized).”

Earlier this week, Trent Reznor, front man for Nine Inch Nails, spoke out against the arbitrary Apple App Store approval process, after his application submission was rejected. I implore you to read the entire article here before continuing with this article: NIN iPhone application gets rejected.
Apple has now reversed the decision blocking the iPhone app however, following the intense criticism of the approval process that followed the move.
The app, NIN: Access, allows users to access streaming music and videos from the NIN homepage.
The app was blocked because it violated Section 3.3.12 from the iPhone SDK Agreement, which doesn’t allow for objectionable and vulgar content. The song “The Downward Spiral,” which was available for streaming, has many curses in its lyrics.
“Thanks Apple for the clear description of the problem - as in, what do you want us to change to get past your stupid… standards?” Reznor wrote in his rant.
Apple did not explain the new decision, adding: “It’s not something we comment on.”

Trent Reznor, front man for Nine Inch Nails, has spoken out against the arbitrary Apple App Store approval process, after his application submission was rejected.
As posted on his personal blog, the rejection letter was as follows:
“Thank you for submitting nin: access to the App Store. We’ve reviewed nin: access and determined that we cannot post this version of your iPhone application to the App Store at this time because it contains objectionable content which is in violation of Section 3.3.12 from the iPhone SDK Agreement which states:
“Applications must not contain any obscene, pornographic, offensive or defamatory content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, etc.), or other content or materials that in Apple’s reasonable judgement may be found objectionable by iPhone or iPod touch users.”
The objectionable content referenced in this email is “The Downward Spiral”. Since the app is live on the App store, please make the necessary changes to the application as soon as possible, and resubmit your binary to iTunes Connect. Thank you
Regards,
iPhone Developer Program “
