Nine Inch Nails has released a new album called The Slip under creative commons license and it is completely free to download. The group encourages everyone to "remix it, share it with your friends, post it on your blog, play it on your podcast, give it to strangers, etc."
The Slip, consisting ten tracks, can be downloaded in several formats through a link that is sent to your email address. In addition to "high-quality MP3, FLAC or M4A lossless at CD quality and even higher-than-CD quality 24/96 WAVE" formats the album will be released on CD and vinyl in July. The downloadable files are all 100% DRM-free and the larger FLAC lossless, M4A apple lossless and high definition WAVE 24/96 packages are distributed via BitTorrent.
