Trent Reznor said:

I understand why people steal, I steal myself and it’s not because I don’t respect artists, it’s because I want something I can’t get in any other way. I know people who feel that way, they’re not doing it so they can pirate it and resell it, they’re doing it because they love it.

Judging by that quote, it seems he only steals music that isn't for sale anywhere. It seems like most people who steal music that they like do it because they just don't want to pay for it.

Trent Reznor said:
When I look at people online and I see things like ‘I really like this band, and I like four or five tracks on this record but I’m not sure I’m gonna spend five dollars on it’ and I’m like ‘fuck you, you just spent that on a coffee’.

it’s because I want something I can’t get in any other way

I just want something... I just want something I can never have!
