In the last few weeks, many new products including Halo 2, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Eminem - Encore found their way to the net before they found their way to stores. The Eminem album, along with albums from Destiny’s Child and Snoop Dogg had their official release date brought forward as the labels feared they would lose millions in revenue due to the leaks.
U2 had feared the album would show up on the net months ago when a rough copy of the album was reported to have been stolen from the studio. A copy of the album in high quality MP3 format showed up online in the past few days.
