I'm running on almost no sleep right now, so please excuse my flakiness, but I don't quite understand how this helps. Avex lets Ayuchina leak it so as to...prevent leaks? Are they trying to discourage bootleg sales? I don't see how that would help for that problem either. Can someone spell this out for me? Because it's not making sense...

Doesn't necessarily promote legal ownership of the tracks though...
