Trent Reznor has relaunched the Nine Inch Nails online remix project on his own servers, after Universal, the parent of his Interscope label, pulled the plug on the endeavor earlier this month. “Sometimes you just have to say… ‘f@%k it’,” Reznor proclaimed on his nin.com website. “The remix site is UP!”

We’ve been closely following this developing story since it could have ramifications on how major labels set-up online remix projects in the future. To recap, Reznor debuted remix.nin.com late last month in an effort to allow his fans and emerging producers to create their own remixes of his latest release, Year Zero, and upload the tracks for other to review. Universal Music Group quickly pulled the plug on the endeavor, not because they didn’t like the concept, but because they are embroiled in a copyright infringement lawsuit with MySpace.
