According to a [http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/20818072/nin_release_free_album_online Rolling Stone article], the album was finished May 4th and sent to Sudjam, the company that manages nin.com, at 9:30 p.m. for a midnight release.
In a A Google Earth KML file, representing downloads of ''The Slip'' according to geographic region, was made available from nin.com update on June 26th, 2008, it was reported that since the album's release on May 5th, 2008, displaying over 1,400,000 people downloads (not including multiple downloads) that had downloaded ''The Slip'' come from theslip.nin.com. That number represents individual people On July 16, 2008, Reznor posted two images of the physical product on nin.com. The post was entitled "The Beginning and the End". The first image shows him holding two copies of the album, hiding his face behind them. The second image shows the backs of both CDs. The one in back reads 1/250,000, and excludes multiple downloads from the same orderone in front reads 250,000/250,000.
==Artwork==
Aside from [[Art Is Resistance]] logo in the artwork for "Letting You", there are no clear, direct references to characters or events in ''Year Zero''. Some tracks share similar themes, such as abuse of power ("Letting You"), an avatar of destruction ("Demon Seed"), submission to authority ("Head Down"), imprisonment ("Echoplex") and the appearance of entities in the sky ("Lights In The Sky"). Other songs, however, like "1,000,000" and "Discipline", seem completely unrelated and feature more "traditional" NIN themes of personal turmoil. It remains unclear which portions, if any, of ''The Slip'' should be considered canon in the ''Year Zero'' storyline.
==MiscellaneaErrata==The high quality wave download torrent includes a subdirectory named "The Slip art", containing JPEG images. However, In the days following the file "02-1000000.jpg"initial release, has an incorrect file extension. This is actually an Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Macintosh version) file with a single layer and no significant meta information attached. The final page of the PDF gives credit to "(c) 2008 niin." This appears to be a typographical error. There also seems to be a mistake in the wave files; The track "The Four Of Us Are Dying" is mistitled "Demon Seed" and vice versa. Audiophile message board [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php Hydrogen Audio] noticed what appeared to be mastering errors on the 24/96 high-def WAVsWAV format (only), which was followed with most of the tracks being 16-bit padded, and "Discipline" having a longer duration. Subsequent posts by posters users "ningineer" and "treznor" who wrote clarified that they something had recontacted gone wrong during the mastering studio and released the WAVs in addition to high-def FLACsprocess that wasn't caught.[httphttps://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=/topic,63086.0.html] On May 15th 15, the nin.com Halo 27 blog post was edited with the message: ''"Some friends at hydrogenaudio pointed out an error with the high resolution WAVE files we didn't catch. The corrected files are now posted along with high resolution FLAC files as well. If you're interested in these, simply re-download the new files. Sorry for the hassle!"''
