why chinese democracy wont leak

^
maybe they played them because they leaked?

Exactly!? They were played because they leaked. Good call.

I've always thought this to be the case too... when people use the "isn't it STRANGE that the leaks are what was played this summer!?" line... I laugh.

what adds further creedance to the suggestion, is that 2 weeks prior to the leaks, Axl broke his silence and made reference specifically to 2 of the songs that leaked - 1 of which we'd never heard of prior to this. That to me, is fishy

I actually wont download anymore leaks.

I still kick myself for DL what I did.


I should've stopped after IRS

Same here.

It's coming out this year.? The only reason why I heard the leaks were because at the time we had no idea when CD was coming.

I can wait a few more weeks.

Well Axls got alot to live up to, so im sure he needs all the sales he can get. hes gonna work his ass off to not get it leaked.

What about what RCA did for Contraband.  The album didn't leak untill a while after it was released.  The cd's were protected and couldn't simply be ripped.  Im sure that Interscope needs a lot of revenue to be generated off of this album, so theyll do their best to keep it from leaking.

Albums are always shipped to stores usually the Friday before release (I work at one), during the Christmas season they usually are shipped 1-2 weeks in advance.

Meaning: I would be VERY suprised if GNR does not leak.

That protection wasn't  to good. All you had to do was turn autorun off and rip it.

Yeah, at Christmas time they have to ship them earlier. Same with DVDs.

All it takes is one dishonest employee.

Most of the leaks end of coming from inside the record companies anyways.

I'm assuming the album will  be up either the Friday or Monday before it's released just like every other album ever.

Bullshit. That album leaked 8 or 9 days prior to release. i had it. It was the wal-mart edited version, but still, it leaked. That copy protection was crap anyhow. The day Contraband came out, i bought it(uncensored!), then ripped it to MP3's with no problem.

The unedited one was on the newsgroups around the same time as the edited one was floating around as well.

If you have autorun disabled on your PC the copyright protection on those CDs is useless.

If autorun is enabled it automatically installs a hidden software on your hard drive.

I'm pretty sure they don't do it anymore because it was eventually labelled a form of trojan/virus software, because it was unauthorized installation...or maybe that was the one on the Foo FIghters album...
