The new OASIS album is in danger of having its release date brought forward after a batch of pirate copies were sold on auction website eBAY yesterday (18APR05).
The British rockers, fronted by brothers LIAM and NOEL GALLAGHER, are set to release their sixth album DON'T BELIEVE THE TRUTH on 16 May (05).
But that release date is no longer a certainty after illegal copies changed hands on eBay's UK site for GBP9.99 ($19). The music will likely soon be available for anybody to download using file-sharing software.
The online advertisement read: "This is a very rare, full-length copy of the forthcoming Oasis album Don't Believe The Truth. This is a CDR copy which comes with promo artwork. Don't miss this opportunity to this album before anyone else."
The internet trader, known only as KBROWN123, is believed to have made over $570 (GBP300) from the illegal sales.
Bosses at Oasis' record label SONY are tracking the anonymous seller down with help from eBay.
The source of the leak is likely to be a review copy of Don't Believe The Truth. However, the promotional CDs are "watermarked" allowing Sony to trace the original owner.

I really do hope that they bring the release date forward a few weeks. It would be the smart thing to do, since the release is over a month away.

I repeat: this guys dead.
About the date, don't think it would annoy Sony so much. The tour will start on May 10 anyways.. just rearranged some promo dates and they're good to go. Lyla's already been casted video and audio. To think about it, they prob had thought about that earlier..

yeah yeah who gives a fuck. it was obvious that the stuff was gona leak eventually, nowt you can do about it
sony can fuck off and stick their chopsticks up theirs
at the end of the day people who are mad fer it are gona download the songs and buy the album later, right now nobody likes oasis yet so nobody else other than people who are mder fer it will download it. when the album is out and the hype begins people will start downloading it, thats the problem. the fact that the album is leaked is actually free advertising and who gives a fuck, they have nice houses nice birds and nice cars anyway fuckin internet

Yeah, just figuring on some magazine interviews and tv appearances. They schedule that shit way in advance and they need to be around or right before the album release for the best impact.

wasnt the album's release date may 31st? i thought the single was for the 16th. the guy who leaked it deserves to get busted. the band is probably righfully pissed off and really it's a load of bullshit crap like this happens. i just hope noel doesnt get angry and pull some shows

I wonder what the punishment will be for the guy selling it on ebay when they catch him. death. Actually who knows? Come to think of it, how hard can it be to track somebody who is more than likely using a P.O. box as an address when everyone in the world can find out the address call up some people find out some more info on the guy who got the P.O. box then show up at the guy's home or place of work the next day with 2 policemen and an arrest warrant. Far as I'm concerned Sony's got the assets and the police have to ability to figure out who this guy is rather quickly. I mean they have to know who it is anyways who made the initial leak because of the watermark, but thats a different case and person cos no reviewer is retarded enought to try and selled a burned copy of his promo....just my couple cents |

Actually
I think he was one of the newbies on the Sound and Vision board that was promising to buy the album if someone would just send him links to the tracks
