An album/single reaching platinum doesn't prove that leaking does not effect the sales.
It's true though, piracy is not very wide spread, and the kind of people who get their hands on leaked stuff is the kind of people who wouldn't buy it anyway, apart from the die hard fans who'd buy it anyway. It's a minority who change their buy or not buy habits thanks to leaked stuff.
I'm guessing around a week before.
