    ‪I cannot wrap my head around how upset some fans are about this album leak. Lana—a millionaire—is sitting in a mansion in the Hollywood Hills rn, completely unbothered by the ppl listening to leaks. ‬Meanwhile some people online are acting like fans stole an armful of cd’s from a table at a DIY show.‬ ‪The NFR leak will have virtually no impact on Lana’s quality of life/career, so why are people so pressed?

     

    I love Lana with my entire heart, but it seems so silly to guilt fans as though she’s not perfectly comfortable in a system where the rich guiltlessly hoard the vast majority of this country’s wealth, and we all need to eat said system’s ass + beg for forgiveness any time we step out of line.‬ ‪Not to mention, most of the ppl listening to leaks are fans who’ve already pre-ordered tour tickets, merch, AND the record, so it’s not as if the album went viral to rampant freeloaders.

     

    I know it’s going to get brought up again if and when the record doesn’t measure up as projected in sales or rating—even though we all know it’s a timing/promotion issue more than anything else. Granted, it can be considered “disrespectful” to the artist to have their art shared before launch, and I’ve been seeing that side of the argument all over Twitter as well. But albums get leaked all the time, and some people are acting like Lana is holed up in an attic crying into her starbucks cup over NFR getting leaked 3 days early. PLS make it make sense. :(

     

     

    The problem is that it has impacts on people who aren't rich. Lana isn' the only one to profit of her music, there are plenty of LOWER paid people below her and pretty much every other artist who suffer when music is stolen or leaked. There will be plenty of people who will listen to leaks/illegally download NFR who won't have purchased the album, regardless of how many fans there are who have. 

     

    I am in no way a 'defender of the rich', I am a massive leftie who believes in democratic socialism, but I will never think it is ok to steal music. 

     

    Music is just to personal to artists, and I just think that it would be better that people heard it when Lana was ready for people to hear it.

    it already did ma'am, a hq leak wouldn't hurt anybody 

     

    It's more about it being Lana's work and something pretty personal to her. 

     

     

     

    as someone here previously said.. society has us programmed to protect the wealth of the wealthy

     

    Nah I just happen to believe stealing isn't right regardless if the person is rich or poor. It's not just the 'wealthy' who suffer from leaks and stolen music it's other people who work on the album at many different levels. 

     

    But anyway, moving beyond that, I'm not worried about LDR's loss of money, I just want her album to come out when she wants it to. I believe the creative process is different for a lot of people and I think it deserves to be heard when the person who is releasing it wants it to be heard.

    only because the  charli xcx thread was deleted at one point and locked multiple times

    Oh wait I just checked and in spite of all that the charli xcx thread is still 200 pages ahead of this one

     

    That's depressing.. then again, this thread is less than a year old and the Charlie XCX thread is 7 years old :D 

     

    I think the question should be reformulated: which color is the vinyl NOT gonna be?

    There are also a lot of people overhyping it. I get it, because it's shiny and new, but imo there are obvious flaws and it won't be to everyone's taste. I wouldn't go as far as to call it boring, though, and nobody has heard the entire thing in hq yet.

     

     

    Eh. I haven't even heard the LQ leak and just from snippets + what has been released I think its her best work. But yes taste is subjective.
