   Why? Anyone who would pirate the leaked pre-release is going to pirate the the album when it comes out.

   Pirates gonna pirate.

4. PM_YOUR_LINUX_DISTRO says

   There goes 150% of the profits

   What stops the hacker from leaking it anyway?

6. DoubleDragon98x says

   Should have called a plumber

7. Bumm_by_Design says

   *Despite all my rage, I still paid the hacker the ransom*

8. TerminationClause says

   It would be funny if the one I pirated a few months ago is the one that releases today.

   I’m surprised the hacker didn’t pay him not to release it

    And he dressed as Quan Chi from Mortal Kombat to intimidate them as well?

    Billy Corgan is the definition of pretentious

    I question the fact a band who hasn’t been relevant in the last 25 years or so would be an object of piracy. This seems like a made up story but what do I know? Hell I didn’t even read the article.
