Just my personal opinion: An artist like Bob Mould shouldn't be as worried about theft as an artist like, say, Coldplay, because his fans are so compressed and rabid that the people who download it for free also want everything else involved with the album (the artwork, liner notes, etc...) so when it comes out, they'll still be the ones who buy it the first day it comes out. If I knew what website I could get the whole album from, I'd download it, but I also guarantee that on June 1st, I'll preorder the Limited Edition Deluxe package so I can hear the whole album, plus extras, when it comes out. I know so many people who don't even know who Bob is, that I don't even know who I would burn a copy for, much less who would like it, being so dancy and all. Even if they did like it, I would pressure them, in the strongest way, to purchase it, because of Bob's previous statements. On a side note, if it's ready to offer on a website, why isn't the album ready for purchase? If it's ready, release it! Wouldn't that eliminate a lot of theft? Cheers.
