When do you think Secret will be leaked?

[micster]

I felt like asking peoples opinion on this, From enebba this is when previous releases were leaked

1. HEAVEN single (avex trax, Japan) - 320kb/sec mp3 files for both 'HEAVEN' & 'Will' were available three days prior to the release date
2. UNITE! single (Drizzly Records, Germany) - 192kb/sec mp3 files for four remixes were available six days prior to the release date
3. Bold & Delicious / Pride single (avex trax, Japan) - 192kb/sec mp3 files for 'Bold & Delicious' & 'Pride' were available eleven days prior to the release date
4. (miss)understood album (avex trax, Japan) - 320kb/sec mp3 files for the whole album were available eight days prior to the release date
5. Count Down Live 2005-2006 DVD - the concert was just published but bootleg DVDs were for sale and ~5 Gb file could be downloaded for 2 months already
6. Startin' /Born To Be... single (avex trax, Japan) - 192kb/sec mp3 files for three songs are available two weeks prior to the release date
6. BLUE BIRD single (avex trax, Japan) - 128 kb/sec mp3 files for the whole single are available three days prior to the release date

So im gonna guess that it will be leaked around 7 days before release. I think (miss)understood was leaked so early because of shops needing the stock as it was christmas time. But because of lack of material this year i think more people will try to leak the songs, hence 1 week before.

But hopefully it will be earlier, we allready have JEWEL

I hope it gets leak the day of release, why? I think that whole eight days prior to the release of (miss)understood staggered some sales.

I wouldent think so

Evanescence's The Open Door was leaked a month before the release date and has allready gone platinum in america within a month.

So leaking dosent really effect the sales

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.

yeah, but one selected example doesn't either prove or disprove norain's opinion.

who knows when it will leak though. i'd say it'll be 5 days or so before though, just guessing.

I think it's a secret..

[elepop]

I hope it won't be leaked, but it definitely will. Maybe a week before the release.

[Hazuki]

Yep. It always will be leaked.

I'm saying between 4-7 days.

sounds good ... hhmmm so we'll have to wait and see when it comes out.

[alt.total-loser]

I say 6 days.

[truehappiness]

I really don't know. LOL

We'll probably get some previews for momentum / 1LOVE / JEWEL and then spaz about those for a week and by then, the entire album would be out..

The radio songs should be out pretty early, I don't think they play all album songs on the radio, or do they?

[Yukitora]

I hope sooner than later, because I'll be going overseas soon and will probably not have any access to it >_<

Well hikki's ULTRA BLUE was aired on the radio, but only a few (4 songs?) very LQ rips were recorded.

[Partino]

why six days? why 7 days? it'll leak ... that's for sure but how are you getting your numbers?

If you check the first post, you'll get a clue.

I've checked it before I posted but I didn't figured it out how you are comming to your numbers?? anyway, it doesn't matter. There is going to be a new album and that is really more I've ever wished for.

Edit: Now I see what you mean. Sorry for misinterpret the posts. I'm such an idiot. sorry.
