I still haven't heard it (not through lack of trying), but I don't blame him for this. I'd be just as pissed. and not just for the lost income (which I'm sure a band like this would notice) but also because the biggest issue with leaked albums is that it staggers the general reception of it completely. By the time it's reviewed in print and on more than a few websites, it's already fallen out of half of the listening audience who downloaded it and listened to it for a week before replacing it with the leaked Dananackroyd album or whatever. It's obviously an impossible fight to win, but I'd still grumble about it.
