Number 1 trending album on Has it Leaked is Dark Matter. Number two is Taylor Swift. Ha, swifties are too soft and don’t have scar tissue from 30 years of crappy rips, unusable file formats, Napster, torrents, and hell even metal door leaks. All they know is that everything is at their fingertips instantly available on demand all the time. (I’m mildly surprised DM hasn’t leaked but kinda shocked TS hasn’t with all the attention she gets). Ok, I’ll stop yelling at clouds…

Very weird indeed.
They explicitly said/hinted that those using the app would get a clip of upper hand.

It’s an age that’s harder to leak things in. Fittingly, harder for us older fans to leak too.

Rainy Saturday here and the kids are out...this would literally be the perfect time for this sucker to leak if anyone finds anything.

I feel like I've typed this 37 times in this thread over the past month, and, yet...here we are
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

They’re all still making CDs and Vinyl weeks/months in advance but I guess they’ve locked down that process because not much leaks. Plus they send a bunch of digital files around but those could have drm or other protections I guess. What I’m really saying is I don’t really understand why it seems like not as much leaks nowadays.

DRMs don’t protect against recordings of recordings.
NDAs on the other hand will keep folks in check.

i just want you to know that I am holding all of you personally responsible for the lack of a leak.

That’s right, all of you.

Especially you!
