AC/DC GOT SCREWED!!!

So, AC/DC got royally screwed on October 7th when their new album, Black Ice, was leaked onto the Internet to Youtube and Biztorrent. Realrocknews.com wrote an article about it today pointing out AC/DCs global success in recent years despite making their music available online. They earned their sales the old-fashioned way with awesome live performances and the constant creation of great new music. Realrocknews.com reported that approximately 400,000 people were able to download the album before it was removed from Youtube and Sony was able to flood Biztorrent with bad copies.

I want to know why they can't track the people who are leaking these "super anticipated" albums. I would think bands like AC/DC and Metallica would be able to find a way to limit the number of people with access to the tracks prior to release to so few people that any leakage could easily be traced to the actual culprit with very little effort.

I can't imagine how frustrated AC/DC must be right now. It would be like sending invitations out for a surprise party and having one of the recipients forward it on to the guest of honor. That would suck!
