Watch out for LES fake leaks/torrents

[HowardF]

Saw that the fake leaks are starting to arrive. Just a heads up to NOT download anything because chances are they are a virus or something you definitely do not want!

Eeek :S

I've already pre-ordered my copy but hope there's a proper leak soon. I can't wait til Feb!

There's something on youtube with a link. I wasn't brave enough to find out what it did, although I did go through a couple pages of "surveys" before bailing out.

waiting for the true one lol
theres a release log site that shows up true releases chronologically, and also piratebay, checking the user that upload, you can be sure or not about the torrent

I walked right in - to see what was going on with that?!
Can it not be reported somewhere to have it removed... very suspiciously looking stuff...
Am not experienced enough to know or to do it

I looked for a way to report it to youtube after I bailed out of it, but I sure didn't see any way to do it.

Good thing that you tried!
I guess jungle laws apply out there so you really got to look out where you're going...

I'm going to try and not listen to the album till after the 1st London show, though not sure whether that will work out

The mp3 page for the latest preview at amazon.co.uk:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Words-That- ... _rhf_p_t_2

shows this text: "This album will be available on 16 Jan 2011". I wonder if they're going make a premptive strike against the leaks?

regarding youtube- click on the flag icon at the bottom of the video then proceed to spam. Perhaps if enough do this then youtube will take it down.

A "five song sampler" of the album has leaked. Alas, I must ignore it. I still refuse to listen to any of the songs until I can hear the album as a whole. but my will is waning with each passing day.

2 of those songs were posted by PJ's team and 3 were premiered on radio earlier this month.
If you've managed to ignore them for now then you'll be fine. I think a leak is imminent , especially since there's so much interest in the project, so many sites posting clips and many people having copies for reviews.
