U2's latest album, not due out for several weeks, was leaked on the web today and it's already causing a ton of trouble - not only for the band, but for music fans who innocently grabbed the album. U2's own record label somehow breached the release date when a BitTorrent file made it's way onto an employee's computer. Seems like the fault lies there, but the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) is up in arms and preparing to go after people who chose to download the music. The RIAA has tapped lastfm in a bid to access personal computers, including iTunes, which naturally has a lot of folks up in arms. The move will also give them access to personal information, as well as the ability to share the information with third parties. Scary stuff! I guess if you did get U2's new songs, you might want to get rid of em! I'll keep you posted.
