Fighting Album Leaks By Offering Something More

Fall Out Boy had their latest album leaked online last week. Rather than rush to release the album, as others have done in the same situation, the band has decided to add an incentive to those who actually buy the album: they’ll add in a live EP that they’re recording tonight in London.

This is a great idea, but I highly doubt it will thwart people from downloading a leak. Besides, most people who are downloading the leak are probably huge fans, so they are going to buy the album anyway. Well… who knows. I still doubt this will make much of a difference, but it’s good to see bands thinking outside the box.
