ok, so I know you can get like, almost any cd that isnt out yet, on mp3, example would be the new squarepusher. several questions: 1. doesnt this ruin the mystique and thrill of getting a new cd... putting it in the cd player, and hearing it for the first time? (i only download unavailible stuff, ie, rare/old live gigs) 2. How long has this been goin on? 3. who do you think leaks them? the artists? the label? some annonymous jerk? personally id be pissed if mine got leaked... but perhaps they do it on purpose to get the word out? if so, then the record company is very hypocrotical... they say mp3s hurt sales, yet they rely on it to create buzza about it 4. was geogaddi leaked? i searched for it, but there was like 1000000 topics... and i dont want to read them all. But i didnt seem to get the impression that people had heard it until after the release date...? |

* i meant to mention that ill download tracks from an artist im not familiar with, just to see if i dig it... but never the whole album. if i dig it, ill buy it and delete the mp3s, and if i dont like it, ill just delete the mp3s but if i KNOW i like the artist... i wait for the release date and buy it |

think it's a insider that oftens leak the stuff |

but in many cases it's the reviewers that get's the prerelease for reviewing purpose |

I once reviewed albums, and i often got them up to 2 month before the real release. |

man, i didnt even think of that... that sucks... cause theres no way to aviod it...you have to get it released... but theres no way to control it... maybe you could just give it to one place to review... no where else, and when it shows up on the net, you could sue the fuck out of them, because you know it was them hehehe |

Yeah, but if you only give it to one place, then the review isnt very legit, plus how will word spread? |

yeah i know, i was just kidding around ;) |

I work at a local radiostation, and I got the mp3's for Drukqs last august, but when it came to Geogaddi there was no mp3's or promos before the release. So I guess the artists and the record companies can do a lot to prevent this, if they want to. |

but dammit id like to have control over my freaking music i think it would make it so much better if it wasnt leaked. That way people get all excited about it, all in anticipation of the release date they could read all the reviews (asumming they are good) and get excited to hear it, and the suspense will build up! |

but then how was it reviewed by people? |
||||||||
|
|

I guess magazines, newspapers and radios get their copies at the release date or just before. Of course it's cool to read good reviews of records you're waiting for several weeks/months before, but I guess it's just as good for the artists to have the focus and the reviews at the time around the release-date? |

I was talking about how i THINK it worked for Geogaddi here... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
well, it certainly didnt seem to hurt BoC with geogaddi by not having previews! |
||||||||
