Hmm - according to Wikipedia (I know, approach with caution), it claims over 250,000 people have downloaded it.
Great - does that mean the album will lose sales because of it, or are those that have downloaded it going to buy it officially when it comes out?

Due to the leaked version having a low volume, I'm pretty sure quite a few people will still buy the album when it comes out, without a doubt!

Leaks never really hurt the sales. The real Oasis fans will always buy the album. The casual Oasis listeners who are not planning to buy the album, would otherwise have waited 1 day and then download it with BitTorrent, if the album wouldn't have leaked.
So it doesn't really matter; These days there is always a torrent available at least a couple of hours after the release, so everyone has already decided if they're gonna buy the album or not. On the day of the release you can get the album for free anyway.

The record companies and the lads, I guess, bank on the fans for albums sales. Most of the cash Oasis gets are from MASSIVE WORLD TOURS, that are completed, and the merch they sell at the gigs. You know $35 Tshirts add up...
