album leak - how? (radiohead)

Could anyone explain to me how can a recording material
leak from a studio, like in radiohead's case.

Not only that, now the mastered material is online.

I don't think too many people have access and knowledge of
operating tape decks and/or computers where the material is
stored.

Intended commercial trick? How can a band profit off of
that? Any ideas?

Well bands have to send out promo copies to journo's to get
reviews out before the album is released. That is one
reason.

yeah and they probably make cd's if not for their own use
then to give to people they know.

you'd have to try the cd on different soundsystems, to see
if you've missed anything in the mixing.

i think they usually intend to put it on the web...they (in
some cases) dont put the right/final version out...
and also to raise expectations imo

in the case of radiohead, it was really stolen during studio
work, they are totally disgusted about the thief (hail...)
stealing something unfinished...
