{{expand}}[[Image:remixsite.jpg|thumb|remix.nin.com]]'''remix.nin.com''' was the official [[Nine Inch Nails]] [[Remixes|remix]] site. The site allowed users to upload their own remixes of NIN and NIN-related songs as well as download others' remixes and rate them.
==About==
Initially scheduled to go live on November 20, 2007—the 2007, the same day ''[[Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D]]'' was released in the US—it US, it was delayed due to [[Interscope Records|Universal Records]]' reluctance to host the site, citing the same copyright issues for which they had filed lawsuits against YouTube and MySpace. [[Trent Reznor]] was more than welcome to host the site himself but he would then assume all legal responsibility, including possibly being sued by Universal. Ultimately a settlement , an agreement was reached and the site went live on November 26, 2007.
Users had to register in order to use some functions of the site such as saving, uploading and downloading remixes. All [[The Spiral|Spiral]] members were automatically registered at the site. Unlike the fan-run [[ninremixes.com]], remix.nin.com prohibited mash-ups or remixes using material by other artists or other media sources (film, television, etc.) due to copyright concerns.
===Removal===
In November 2016, [[nin.com]] was relaunched and all existing subsites were taken down, including remix.nin.com. All remixes from the site were preserved by archivists on archive.org[https://archive.org/details/remix-nin-com-collection]. The [[multitracks]] that were made available can still be downloaded from [[nindestruct.com]] [http://nindestruct.com here].
