Description: A couple of confuzzling points:
1 - The ads aren't FOR Nine Inch Nails albums or merch or anything. They're just general ads, and the money that comes from those ads goes to NIN.
2 - My problem isn't that they're making money off it. I'd would certainly have gone ahead if they'd said "A condition of using our songs is we want to advertise on your vids."
But they didn't - they just said "The conditions of using our songs are 1) credit us, and 2) you can't make money."
3 - Don't go blaming big evil record companies. Nine Inch Nails is independently signed.
4 - I'm sure it's legal. I wasn't saying it's illegal, I was saying it's underhanded. The two aren't necessarily linked.
