far be it from me to post negatively in response to somebody named after 'hairway to steven', but i think this is just 'one of those things' that everybody expects, nowadays. i remember way back when 'nyc ghosts' leaked, i had the same outraged viewpoint as you, but can anyone name a single noteworthy album that HASN'T leaked at least a month or more (sometimes many more) prior to its release, in the past few years? it's just the nature of the internet, and i suppose the music industry these days. don't send out advance copies, see what happens?
i'm also fairly sure the people crying foul are just annoyed becuz they can't find the leak online and feel left out. might be wrong.
