Forums - General Discussion - Regarding NIN music used at Guantanamo Bay for torture

Neos on 11 December 2008

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.
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. TR   --      nin.com

ROAR! show em Trent.

This is really idiotic..using music (art) as a form of torture..

Yea apperently it's on the news lately. They use hard or heavy (or offensive) music to torture the inmates there in Guantanamo Bay. Imagine a cell, with a few speakers, and nothing else..

Any music, no matter how pleasant or how much you like it, can be used as a torture ...

If you played the same song over and over again for 18 hours at a volume loud enough that it made it impossible for a person to ignore or block out it would be an effective torture. The choice of NIN (or any other music) is probably because it will instantly be seen in a negative light by their captives.

Its the trick hand technique. While the rest of the Bush administration walk off in to the sunset, and get pardoned or unpunished, everyone else is conveniently distracted by some insignificant story about a soundtrack.

Let me tell you, what these people did should be punished, if it was Iran no doubt the UN would be interested, and the ability to make 2 different rules for yourselves and others won't save history from acknowledging the truth.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
