This is quite funny considering they only had 3 copies flown around the world in briefcases handcuffed to the label executives' arm.
If that doesn't stop it getting leaked, what will?

^^^ arms can be cut off.. have you not seen Snatch? lol

They have enough money... they'll survive. Besides this isn't hip hop here, their fans will want the official limited edition blah blah copy.

if the copy of their new album slipped from their staff, i guess its because someone was not verry pleased on how much he got from its work on their album
i respect bono and the band, their music and their actions all over the world, real fans wont get the pirated album, they will purchase the oficcial one, and i m sure u2 has lots of fans all over the worl

The boys aren't dumb,surely they must be aware that it will be on the net in no time.But I think they are so well respected and admired that the album will still sell bucketloads as well.

As if U2's Baby Boomer fans can work a computer.
