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.
