Apparently, as usual, the new Arcade Fire album, Neon Bible, got leaked this week. But, it's not flooding the internet. It seems that the leak may not be a high enough bitrate to meet some otherwise-infringing sites' standards. That's just silly.

It's not that they're against copyright infringement/spoilers (e.g. Wincing the Night Away), they refuse to post out of bitrate principle? Now that's some hard core elitism.

If you really want to steal the new Arcade Fire + ruin the release date (i.e. be a true industry hater), then you probably wouldn't have trouble finding the torrent... not that I just looked or anything.
