Albums that have leaked
Thrillho:
I've stopped downloading leaked albums. I found that I was much happier when I waited until the release, went out and bought the actual CD on its release date, but that listening to the album before it came out and then going to buy it removed any of the fun in buying a new CD.

I don't unerstand this reasoning. I want to listen to something when it's done. I don't want to wait an unnecessary amount of time to listen to something that is done and ready. Artists should feel glad that people want to listen to their music, and true fans are going to buy the album anyway.

Exactly. 'True' fans, but shitloads of people don't bother to buy CDs and just download it all.
I like the feeling of owning a CD, and I like the idea of waiting until an artist wants me to hear the material.

By downloading leaked albums, you aren't complementing the artist. You're taking power away from them. They have the right to decide how their albums will be set up and experienced, and by downloading something that you're not even sure is the real mix, well, that just doesn't seem right.
That said, I have checked out out one or two leaked albums over the years.

Shitloads of people are always going to download music. You can't change that. I like the feeling of buying albums too, but that doesn't stop me from listening to it beforehand. Plus, don't you want to know that what you're spending money on isn't going to be crap?

Albums are done way before a cd is released. Just look at Wilco for that example. When Yankee Hotel Foxtrot leaked on the internet, they didn't sue people or get mad, they went ahead and put the album on their site for people to hear it for free months before its release. They did the same for A Ghost is Born and they still sold a whole lot of albums.
