New Broken Social Scene leaked

I can see both sides of the argument: downloading definitely hurts the band (I only download pre-releases if I've pre-ordered the CD), but on the other hand, it's not as though with Pitchfork and other media agencies running stories that it's leaked that this person's post contributed, even in a small part, to the mass downloading of the album.

Who, honestly, downloaded the album and wouldn't have sans this thread?

I agree.

It's still something to think about though.

if there's ever a band that downloading put on the map, its bss. they would not be playing the 930 club if it wasn't for soulseek

fixed.

sure pitchfork broke the band, but you couldn't buy the record in the states when the article came out. everyone got it through soulseek, which is/was mostly pitchfork nerds anyway
