of course its not Wills idea!!! what happens is interscope have to send out "promo copies" of the album to reviewers..like magazine reviewers cause they need them early to put in the next months issue..and what happens is one of these promo people put the record online and before you know it its leaked everywhere.. ppl have tried everything to stop this but no ones been successful.. the best thing to do is push up the release date..cause people will download this and then not buy it..and that suxs! :nono:

well i counted on that..but just thought that if u send promos...u know where u sending them, of course not where they r arriving...but if they get leacked...u should ask for responsibilities and take action cos i supouse its illegal..dunno...

And by the way...it doesnt matter if its leacking or not...people that download and dont pretend to buy it..will do it before or after the release date... So i dont think this is the main point.

It's really impossible... The albums goes around alot of places before it goes to the store... there is thousands of possibilites of ripping it (ripping = putting it up on the internet).

but on the other hand, some people might download a few tracks(without ever contemplating buying the album), then buy the album because they like the tracks so much. Also, if some people lke the new Will Smith they might endeavour to find older albums which would be more slaes for Will, even if not sales of L+F

i dont know a huge amount about this but i think it will do more harm than good. I know we are gonna buy the album too, but a lot of ppl out there have no intentions of buying it, whats the point when they can have it for free, they never wanted to help Will out in the past, why would they now.

I guess stuff like this just happens. I'd love to get hold of the person that leaked it tho.
