How is it possible for new _unreleased_ albums to leak to p2p?

This puzzles me.. im sure there are a lot of people involved in producing a new album for Artist X. But i assume these people who have the privilige to be in that circle have better stuff to do than sharing their work / albums on kazaa.

Also i cant imagine established record labels leaking things on purpose specially before official release. Perhaps a few songs but not a full high quality album.

So what group of people that are not directly affiliated with the artist/producer/recoprd company get their hands on an album months before release and can 'afford the risk' to publish it?

My guess would be the cd's need to be duplicated at a mass scale, packaged ect. and this would or more than likely does happen overseas. Despite the location that is a lot of hands on the products before it ever hits the streets.

Record companies do it themselves. Release a few songs of the new album on a p2p network and it will create a small hype.. I think they call it marketing

May want to re-read the initial post. He said he can understand a few songs but not entire albums.

Thank you. I've been up far too long to formulate a simple sentence, let alone spell correctly. RECOD!?? WTF!

Well said.

I think it has to do with the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth (the lithosphere) is divided into about a dozen " plates" that move across the earth's surface relative to each other, like slabs of ice on a lake

nope. artists who have anticipated albums dont need this kind of attention, and those who don't have anticipated releases...well no one cares. Very rarely will an A&R make this slip.

The main culprit is pre-releases to radio stations. Next in line is lifted copies right out of the studio or record company. I know a couple of people from RNS...they have some connections you wouldn't believe.

alot of record companies will put them out with those beeps and bells in them so its not a great listen but gives a sample of the song, they are all over kazaa, not too bad on limewire.

A sony rep came into a club where I was engineering and handed me a copy of Mezmerize .. probably about 3 months before it came out. I've also got an unreleased version of OK computer with a different track order.. it's one of only 200 hand-numbered copies.

For them, it's worth giving me the copy cause I can get it spun in front of the right audiences.. but then, what's my motivation to keep it to myself?

whoever does it, does it with every single release by a major recording company and has been for years.

It's the 50yr old asian lady working at some sweat shop making 20 cents a day stamping out copies for the record labels.

I think the labels started doing that to make it harder to get a good copy ... once it's leaked they dump a million bad copies with similar titles on the P2P to mask the good ones .. this way you have to download 30 copies to find a good one ... most people give up

It's really pretty simple how it happens. The record companies start sending out the albums to radio stations for play and magazines/newspapers for reviews a while before the come out to help create a buzz. If it's a major artist they could easily send out seveal thousand advance copies to these places. All it takes is a couple of people ripping it to MP3 and putting it up.

I used to write for a music magazine and I would get 20-40 CD's a week in the mail from record companies wanting me to review them. Funny thing was I would maybe review 2 a month. Many of these record companies would send a copy to everyone on the staff at the magazine hoping someone would write about it. I would keep the ones I want and once a month take the extra crap to a record store and sell it. So often time the record store would get my "advanced" copies and sell them used before the actual album came out.
