Customers who have purchased music from Microsoft's now-defunct MSN Music store are now facing a decision they never anticipated making: commit to which computers (and OS) they want to authorize forever, or give up access to the music they paid for.

"Discipline" is available for download here. As many people have noticed, the comment in the mp3 says "Go to www.nin.com May 5" and the embedded artwork can be viewed here.
