Toronto indie band Stars have decided to deal with the inevitability of albums leaking before their due publication date by simply releasing their whole brand new record for legal download, four days after its completion. See the Stars Myspace page for more details. They hope, of course, that you'll buy the album anyway in its physical format in order to support its creators. Will it work? It's certainly a canny move, and will help generate some decent positive publicity. But will it actually serve to increase sales of the album? Time will tell - it's due out 25th Sept.
