It's just a bit uncool to join for the sole purpose of scoring the album. I can't prove that anyone joined for the sole purpose of scoring the album. I'm probably wrong about that- in fact. I neglected to acknowledge the fact that whenever the Keys are on the brink of a new album, fans get excited and want to start chatting. So that's more likely what the new member situation is all about. I'm all for new members. We need more fans here. Always. I just thought it was odd that 10 people signed up the day the of the leak. But as I said, it does make more sense now that I think about it. Sorry for being crazy all.

I wouldn't go so far as to call this person a 'shithead'. I think it is hilarious that some random kid with probably average Internet know-how so easily got access to something this company largely profits from. How sad. It's like, hey your music was accessed. We only provide you with one service, and that's to keep your music safe until your release date. We promise. But we dropped the ball on this one. The account was promptly closed up, but yeah, sorry... they got your music. We are completely useless and this just shows how pathetic our business model is. The evil hackers! Thanks for your business. Well, that shithead rocks in my opinion. Posted 2 years ago #

Mirby 2.0 tour bus driver Joined: Apr '10 Posts: 3,581 offline	It would be tough for everyone to agree on what the potential/actual damages were though. Tough to estimate how many people would have bought the album, but didn't because they downloaded it instead. But still, they should have to pay the price somehow. If I don't do my job, I get fired. Why shouldn't they? Posted 2 years ago #

He wasn't really a music reviewer, it was a rouse... so he didn't have access to the music already. That's his reason. Ron Paul 2012 Posted 2 years ago #

Well at this point that's 100% going to happen anyway after it's released legitimately. The question, I guess, is how much having it leaked 3 weeks early will affect sales. My guess is not ALL that much. These days I think most people who buy the album choose to regardless of the availability of a pirated version. And the rest were never going to buy it anyway. I have no data but I think a very small percentage of people actually change their minds about buying an album after finding it online. Lost sales = minimal.
