nice work, bono, ya dumbarse!

well, it doesn’t matter how much musicians whine about illegal file sharing, sometimes they just love to do stupid things which definitely work in the favour of filesharers.
currently, U2 are finishing off their latest album, unofficially entitled ‘No Line On The Horizon’. bono is in france for post-production and decided to listen to the album. however, he decided to listen to it very loudly. so loudly, infact, that passers by could hear the album. they recognised bono’s voice and started recording the music from the street. so thanks to bono, 4 tracks have been leaked to the public. obviously, the quality is quite poor, but the point is that fans can get a listen to some tracks from the album … and it’s also a big ‘fuck you’ to people like paul mcguinnes (U2’s manager) who hates filesharers and thinks they should all be disconnected from the internet.
i still love U2, but this was a dumbarse thing to do … especially after their last cd was also leaked.
good work bono, ya wanker!
