Very good answer. I just saw on the news that this artist is moving up the release date of his album because pirated versions are already selling on the streets. If he hasn't already released the album (I assume it's in some wharehouse guarded by the RIAA, waiting to be shipped) how can someone have pirated versions selling already? Assuming that CDs are in the stores, they won't sell it to the public until release date. So if there's a culprit, it must be those in the music business and not the public.
