if sonic youth wanted to control the way their music was presented, if they truly wanted to do this, they could. but instead they choose to go down a road that is burdened by boundaries where the options for control over your art is limited.

I won't even bother reading this entire thread, because the answer is painfully simple.
You can cite curiousity, enthusiasm, good intentions, 'dangers' of the industry, etc. It's all bullshit.
You claim SY ought to accept the leakage to a degree, because it's an inherent risk given their choice of dissemination and today's technological mediums.
How about some personal accountability? The answer to this little moral debate is simple enough for me -
If SY wanted you to hear the album before its release, Kim would be standing on your doorstep with your very own copy, and you'd get a cookie for being special.
But that isn't happening. So keep your pants on, wait for the release, and, most importantly -
Show some fucking respect.
