The catch 22 of it is, they could never have leaked it unless it was leaked to them in the first place.

I wonder what the original author of the data leaked has to say about all this?

I know the website they are talking about. I know the release that was “leaked” as well. The most outrageous thing about this is that the website in question is that they are notorious for stealing other trackers content and posting it on their tracker. They also remove .nfo’s and change all the tags. They ripped off a site I used to help moderate at constantly, nicking just about everything they could. Although we took no claim to scene releases, we did want our personal rips and releases to remain exclusive to our site, at least for a short time period. In the end, our admin shut the place down over that issue and a couple of others.

They are not a good bunch of people over there. It’s generally thick with thugs and chavs, and the lack of respect they show for any other torrent site shows in their forums. I find this whole story very amusing.

@3: I’m familiar with the situation and tracker and it has gotten way out of hand too many times.

This situation does sound rather funny, however if I understood it properly some of the “pirates”, supposedly, have a valid claim over their uploads because they are creators of the content being uploaded. Regardless there is no way to completely control the distribution of any files once they are on a bit torrent tracker. So if they really want to, at some point, go about the “traditional” way of selling music maybe just keep their best stuff off the torrent sites.
Although, I’d say unless they’re accusing every one of their potential customers of being unscrupulous morons, the music will sell it self. If someone really enjoys your music and they have the ability they’ll probably buy it. If not then it must not be worth that much to them and they wouldn’t have bought in the first place, so they’re not hurting your profits.

As Ben Franklin once said three can keep a secret as long as two of them are dead. If you don’t want stuff “leaked” don’t share it.

Hmm, underground “urban” music that only gets rehosted on Russian blogs? I don’t think we’re missing out on much…

P2P is free, and will always be free. Assholes trying to make money off it can go shove it up there ass.

I will leak, I will share, I will keep P2P free no matter what it takes.

Oh what are you going to do.. ban my IP? Call the cops?

Yeah I thought so.. go f*ck yourself.

If people don’t want “their” (it’s not their work now is it?) releases shared elsewhere, then stick to private FTP with a few friends.

So-called private sites with 1000’s of members aren’t really private. Who has 100’s of friends? Right.

It’s already piracy to begin with so it’s only logical already pirated content can (or better: can’t) be pirated again.

Worst are lame sites making money with donations and VIP schemes trying to protect “their” uploaders/ money makers (usually just re-dumpers of scene stuff).

@xen:
“You have reason why you do it, now come with a good business model and promote that, please.”

The genie is out of the bottle with file sharing, and you aren’t going to put it back in. There is an itunes model without the RIAA or DRM…emusic. And it’s profitable. But lets face facts: The music industry will continue to lose money because most people will take for free if they can. As more and more people grow up with the technology, the effects are just going to snowball.

The future of business model for
the music industry will be using recorded music as a promotion tool for touring and merch. Music is a performance art and as such the artists should get paid for performing it. Independent musicians have been living off of this model for decades.

Lets face it, the record company is quickly becoming obsolete and the sun is setting on the era of the filthy rich rock star. And music is better off for it. Music needs an atmosphere that encourages it’s evolution. Taking the record industry out of the equation will do that.
