Did you know that Nine Inch Nails has two new albums? And that you can download a big portion of them for free?

Yeah, they released that awhile back man. I think you can torrent the entire thing off Pirate Bay. And NIN actually put it on Pirate Bay so it's legal...

They also just put out another album free for download: The Slip

That is the *old* new album. The new free album is called The Slip. http://theslip.nin.com. They have many different versions available as a torrent.

You can download 9-tracks of Ghost for free. I bought the entire 36-track album for $5.00.

I'd guess that they make more money giving it away than they would by selling it through the label, because it helps sell other stuff where they get a much better percentage than the label grants them. Additionally, they promote their tours, which seem to be the place where musicians make their money now.

Absolutely.
