I know the file-sharing policy of the board but I didn't talk about that. What I meant was the aspect of keeping quite about the leak. I think you ask too much from people who are excited they heard new music from the band or any band member. Everyone would like to discuss it, exchange opinions and has a right to do so. It's the purpose of boards like this.

And even if everyone would have handled things like you claim you did, do you think the distribution of the album would have been stopped? It was not the fault of anybody posting here.
