Similar to the announcement that ultimately led to the release of Ghosts I–IV , a post on the band’s website in April 2008 read “2 weeks!” On May 5, Nine Inch Nails released The Slip via its website without any advertisement or promotion. The album was made available for download free of charge with a message from Reznor, “this one’s on me,” protected under the same Creative Commons licence as Ghosts , and has seen individual downloads surpassing 1.4 million. The Slip has since been released on CD as a limited edition set of 250,000.
