==Leaks==
Due to the distribution method chosen for the album, there were no leaks of the entire album prior to release. However, Trent Reznor and Saul Williams leaked a few songs before releasing it. Reznor leaked the songs "[[Break]]" and "[[Tr(n)igger]]" via [[Echoing the Sound]], later, a Sendspace link appeared on [[nin.com]] making the two tracks plus "[[Sunday Bloody Sunday]]" available as a downloadable zip file with lyrics to the songs. A few hours before the release, Saul Williams put "[[Scared Money]]" on his MySpace music player.
A promotional CD-R with instrumentals of fourteen songs the full album minus "Convict Colony" surfaced 3.5 years after the release.
