pre-ordered myself, but undecided as to whether I would..

anyone who uploads it is a dick, but it's always gonna happen because people release stuff to up their 'rep', not because they're fans.

It *really* gets on my tits when people try to leak/request official album stuff here though, show some respect.

I wrote out a big long story on what I thought. But then I thought FUK IT.

all I have to say to people is, PRACTISE WHAT YOU PREACH.

You made a topic for moral support?

If IMD leaks all over the net I probably won't be able to resist downloading it but I have my copy bought and paid for. Sure that doesn't justify downloading something Prodigy wont get paid for but I respect the band so they're gonna get my $$$ regardless. Not looking to argue either, just saying.

once its widespread on the net. its fair game. wont make a diff if i download it or not, cos thousands more will. ill still buy it if i like it.

its like eating meat, i can feel bad for the animal, but if i like the taste so much, im gonna eat it!!

if liam were to give it to me as a present expecting nothing in return, i would never spread it.. but they are expecting millions of pounds, why the fuck should i feel bad about that, ill go see them live, give them support, make them feel great about what they r doing

+1

indeed. it is not like downloading the album will make them poor, it will be the difference for them of buying 11 sports-cars or 12.. theft can only be as unjust as the damage it does.

i for one didn't have their albums as cd's,but just casettes ,original,but still casettes.i didn't have neither the money or a shop where i could find the records i wanted.i only had the oportunity to buy the 4 albums exactly 1 year ago online,usinf a friend's bank acount.now i'm asking the same friend to help me purchase the boxset too,cause i doubt i'll see the new album in my town,and if i'll see it it will be later than the official release.
bottom line,it doesn't matter if you download the album of any artist as long as you buy it afterwords.sooner or later it makes no difference

If it leaks ill download it but still buy it..to be honest yeah i see everyone's point about not respecting the band..but if you want something that bad what harm would it do?

apart from destroying the music industry obviously..liam knows once this album is out its gonna be on the net downloaded by lots of people..but at least this gets the music out to people..which in the long term makes them money by people wanting to see the prodigy...you cant really steal the live act
