In February 2008, Reznor posted a news update on the Nine Inch Nails website entitled "2 weeks". On March 2, ''[[Ghosts I–IV]]'' (the first release on The Null Corporation label), a 36-track instrumental album, became available via the band's official website. ''Ghosts I–IV'' was made available in a number of different formats and forms, ranging from a free download of the first volume, to a $300 Ultra-Deluxe limited edition package. All 2,500 copies of the $300 package sold out in three days.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080305-reznor-makes-750000-even-when-the-music-is-free.html| title = Reznor makes $750,000 even when the music is free| work = Ars Technica| publisher = [[Condé Nast Publications]]| date = March 5, 2008| access-date = March 6, 2008| url-status = live| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080306141028/http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080305-reznor-makes-750000-even-when-the-music-is-free.html| archive-date = March 6, 2008}}</ref> The album is licensed under a [[Creative Commons]] [[Creative Commons licenses|Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike]] licence.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/8095| title = Nine Inch Nails releases Ghosts I-IV under a Creative Commons license| first = Eric| last = Steuer| publisher = [[Creative Commons]]| date = March 2, 2008| access-date = December 8, 2011| url-status = live| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20111122184557/http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/8095| archive-date = November 22, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://ghosts.nin.com/main/faq |title=Ghosts – FAQ |publisher=Nine Inch Nails |year=2008 |access-date=March 2, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080307000705/http://ghosts.nin.com/main/faq |archive-date=March 7, 2008 }}</ref> The album was created improvisationally over a ten-week period and contributors included [[Atticus Ross]], [[Alan Moulder]], [[Alessandro Cortini]], [[Adrian Belew]], and [[Brian Viglione]].<ref name="Billboard2">{{cite magazine| url = https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1046383/new-nine-inch-nails-album-hits-the-web| title = New Nine Inch Nails Album Hits The Web| first1 = Cortney| last1 = Harding| first2 = Jonathan| last2 = Cohen| name-list-style = amp| magazine = [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]| publisher = [[Nielsen Company]]| date = March 2, 2008| access-date = March 2, 2008| url-status = live| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130211132710/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1046383/new-nine-inch-nails-album-hits-the-web| archive-date = February 11, 2013}}</ref>
