Members jordansaxe Posted March 22, 2005 Members Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 im thinking to myself as i am listening to the album, that maybe this is a marketing ploy from Will or management? he says Don't download, go out and buy the Record!!.... maybe he wanted to see how the fans would respond to the album? just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Hero1 Posted March 22, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 of course its not Wills idea!!! what happens is interscope have to send out "promo copies" of the album to reviewers..like magazine reviewers cause they need them early to put in the next months issue..and what happens is one of these promo people put the record online and before you know it its leaked everywhere.. ppl have tried everything to stop this but no ones been successful.. the best thing to do is push up the release date..cause people will download this and then not buy it..and that suxs! :nono: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kikflip Posted March 22, 2005 Members Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 (edited) well i counted on that..but just thought that if u send promos...u know where u sending them, of course not where they r arriving...but if they get leacked...u should ask for responsibilities and take action cos i supouse its illegal..dunno... And by the way...it doesnt matter if its leacking or not...people that download and dont pretend to buy it..will do it before or after the release date... So i dont think this is the main point.

Frenetic Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 It's really impossible... The albums goes around alot of places before it goes to the store... there is thousands of possibilites of ripping it (ripping = putting it up on the internet).

So i dont think this is the main point. no some people who would have bought the album download it and then decide they aint gonna buy it..and then will loses album sales!! thats ****ed up!

Jonny 5 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 but on the other hand, some people might download a few tracks(without ever contemplating buying the album), then buy the album because they like the tracks so much. Also, if some people lke the new Will Smith they might endeavour to find older albums which would be more slaes for Will, even if not sales of L+F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted March 23, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 well i hope thats true jonny..this albums so good i want it debut at no. 1 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFre$hPrince Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Every LP leaks to the new 7-14 days before it´s released, so it´s not Will´s idea lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 i dont know a huge amount about this but i think it will do more harm than good. I know we are gonna buy the album too, but a lot of ppl out there have no intentions of buying it, whats the point when they can have it for free, they never wanted to help Will out in the past, why would they now. I guess stuff like this just happens. I'd love to get hold of the person that leaked it tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um...yea, sure, that's prolly why 50's album, and Em's album always seem to leak early...rite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
