U2

Full CD-quality copies of U2’s upcoming album No Line On The Horizon have been leaked.  But it wasn’t the usual hacker stealing a copy and putting online.  This time it was Universal Music Australia.  The company accidentally put the album up for sale on their website two weeks early.  The album was quickly pulled after the company realized the error but by then the damage was already done.  It’s reported that you can now get the album off of torrent sites already.  Full Story…

U2’s new album was scheduled to be released on March 3rd and is their 12th release.  However this isn’t the first leek of the new album.   This past August Bono was blasting the new album from his villa in the south of France and a passing by U2 fan pulled out his cellphone and recorded the music.  While it was of poor quality, it still made the rounds with the fans.
