leaked U2 album illegally downloaded 445,000 times before official release
U2’s newest album was accidentally leaked on February 18th and racked up an estimated 445,000 downloads in under two weeks. All tihs before the album’s official release.
445,000 downloads! That’s almost half of going platinum. Yet the band nor the label won’t see a single penny.
The concept of the Internet killing the music industry is nothing new, but these numbers are downright staggering.
The Internet loves eating up traditional business models. Television is in its mouth and newspapers are already in the belly.
