Rolling Stones New Album Suffers Early Net Leak
A Bigger Bang is The Rolling Stones first studio album in nearly eight years. The album has already gained some negative media coverage for its Sweet Neo Con track. Now the album is gaining more unwelcome attention. This time its from Internet pirates. The album is up for download at places like ThePirateBay.org
The Stones are far from the first to have this happen to a new album. In fact its hard to recall any recent album that the industry has managed to keep under wraps until its official release. Eminem and others have even had to move the release of albums up to a sooner date after the albums showed up online early. Once again this come back to leaks inside the industry though. Maybe the RIAA should be tightening up its own ship over suing kids who swap their tracks on Kazaa.
