Usher, famous rap artsit, has, like the majority of the mainstream music industry, had his newest album leaked prior to it's streetdate. This occurs due to people involved in the production and manufacture swipe themselves a copy and then release it on the net for all to see and procure.

BigChampagne have tracked the leak and have calculated just from torrents one some public sites alone; there has been over 500,000 downloads. That really is rather a lot... and you wonder why artists complain about piracy.
