from what i understand, the problem is that most of the time it isnt as ethical as that. they are stolen in ways including by hacking networks, hacking private accounts, coercing people working on the music, and as you say, phishing. the end point is that it is not their music to sell, period, no matter how it is obtained
Glad this is happening and they're getting charged. However, as lots of people have said listening to leaks doesn't make you a bad person or not a real fan
That was crazy as fuck
the snippets leaked before lana really finishes the album and whoever shared it said that it was BB outtake… i dont know. The timing of when the snippets were shared was mindboggling
She was just extremely arrogant and assumed nobody would care about the thefts, since so many other hackers are actively stealing material every day and rarely get caught.
Case in point: she was obsessed with the artist Upsahl and used to go into Upsahl’s Instagram livestreams to terrorize her by talking about her unreleased songs. It was actually psychotic behavior.
I'm sorry but like... if someone is actually this dumb to hack for unreleased material, then go sell it and use their real name and/or not know how to anonymize yourself online, she deserves it. dont get me wrong i love unreleased shit and leaks, but what a fucking idiot.
This girl used to post a ton on Leaked.cx and was a major menace there. Really rude, nasty person.
The authorities definitely did not find all her ill-gotten assets, either. She had tons of Ariana Grande material (none of which was mentioned in these articles and which I know for a fact made her a lot of money) and had claimed to have made over $150,000 selling hacked stuff, while the authorities only managed to track down £42,000.
It’s not an odd coincidence, Lana teased one of her most highly sought after unreleased/unleaked songs, of course any account that attempts to be an ‘’’insider’’’ is gonna jump about it
Welcome to the 2024 Lipsters Awards!
It's that time of year again! Our annual Lipsters Awards is our website's own awards ceremony where we all come together to honour all the members, music, moments, memories, and messiness that make our community what it is.
I am pleased to announce that voting is NOW OPEN from today until January 17th at 11:59PM ET. The official awards ceremony will take place the evening of Saturday, January 18th at 5pm ET with our red carpet beginning an hour beforehand - so clear your calendars for the festivities!
Below, you will see a list of this year's 39 categories (5 new categories are being introduced this year!) and a brief description of what each award entails. For this voting period, please visit the link below and vote for your top nominee in each category. (Note: Once you submit your votes, please comment that you have done so or DM @admin as only one voting ticket is permitted per member, and this ensures that votes are submitted fairly.)
If you can't think of enough votes, please try your best and submit all that you can! You all have a little over two weeks to come up with your votes, so please feel free to take your time to consider who/what you would like to vote for. I have not made it mandatory for every field to be completed, and although it is highly encouraged that you try to submit votes for each category, I have done this so all feel comfortable submitting votes even if you aren't familiar enough with our member base to nominate for every category. Also, for those who wish to be voted for, please feel free to continue your campaigns below, or campaign for other members you think deserve some awards!
I look forward to hosting this year's annual ceremony with you all again! The annual Lipsters Awards are always my among my favourite days we have on here, and I anticipate them each year. I love how we can all come together to have our own special day all about us. It's the perfect way to begin our year as we pay tribute to the last. Wishing everyone lots of love and luck! x
SUBMIT YOUR VOTES HERE
Even without our notorious “Time Online” tracker that is now just a burning memory, at this point I’m sure we all can recognise who our most repeat visitors are! The Most Active award will be bestowed upon the member that frequently blesses us with their posts. Also thanks for boosting our AdSense revenue - your interest really made stacks out of it for me (jk I wish) xx

Sometimes a thought isn’t worth a thread post, and that’s okay! The recipient of the Status Updater award is the one who makes the best use out of our Status Update feature to let us know their thoughts for the day, their favourite new tunes, their drunken rambles, and the like. (& with the abundance of new random threads still constantly being created, I greatly thank the ones who utilise this feature instead when appropriate.)

Whether it be a Lana reference or pun, an iconic song title, or just a purely imaginative name, we all have that one member whose name makes us smile, and the Best Username award is for that special someone.

Members are allowed to creatively express themselves through their profile picture, and the Best Profile Picture award honours our favourites. Whether it be a beautiful photograph of Lana, an image of their lovely self, another iconic artist, a stunning artwork, or just an aesthetically pleasing image, let's show some love to the little square images we all associate our members with.

With the best must come with the worst. To oppose the previous award, our new Worst Profile Picture award honours the profile images that give us all a little jumpscare when we see them. Perhaps it's time for a change.

This is the first of the five new awards we've added this year! A member's signature gives a deeper insight into who they are. Whether it be their favourite quote or lyric, carefully selected imagery to match their profile picture, a graphic they designed themselves, or just something they feel truly defines them, the Best Signature award will honour whose signature you admire seeing after every post they make.
@boom like that

@Thats why they call me Dita
Even I myself can't deny that I have at times turned off viewing signatures because some members' signature are just way too much to tolerate. Whether it be a catastrophe of multiple gifs that slows down page loading, a certain artist you despise that you can't stand seeing after every post a member makes, or any other general eyesore, the new Worst Signature award will give that member a hint that perhaps it is time to switch their signature, or just get rid of it completely.

The Best Taste award is to honour the member who is the embodiment of true taste. Their opinions are like Gucci (all over their body.) Let’s discuss this – they’re disgusting, you’re delicious.

Old is gold. This award is to honour our member who has continued to come back year after year despite the madness, the one who has become truly embedded within LanaBoards culture. Give a salute as we honour the right person who has stayed with us with the Veteran Member award.

Though I truly resent this award each year, at this point it has become tradition. As our member graveyard grows slowly but surely each year, the Best Banned Member award is to honour someone who is no longer here with us due to their own naughtiness. Perhaps a legend in their own right, pour out a drink for our fallen sisters with this award. (in b4 it’s all the same person in 5 different variants.)

The Most Missed Sis award is for someone who isn't necessarily a banned member, but for one who unfortunately hasn't been around for a while on their own accord. Who do you miss seeing? Who do you want to have their comeback era? Let them know through this award.

This one is for the top Lipster, Lanatic, Lanita, Little F*cker, Vintage Kid, or whatever else you want to call us Lana stans. Whether it be because of their huge Lana collection, their knowledge of Lana’s life history, their frequency at live shows, or just their general massive appreciation for Lana, the Biggest Stan award will honour the true ride or die (bitch.)

“When will people be over her? I am a Hater.” Although this is a whole forum dedicated to Lana herself, we do have those members who give her a hard time, and that’s why I cross my fingers that Lana doesn’t visit here too often. Although I don’t endorse the hatred, perhaps the Biggest Lana Hater award can give a little hint-hint nudge-nudge to ease off… or just add more fuel to the fire.

Although this is a Lana forum, we have plenty of members who are here solely for our entertainment section, which makes up a huge portion of our site. So, who’s your favourite Angel? Your favourite Little Ferrari? Your favourite Diamond? Your favourite Crybaby? Your favourite Swiftie? The Hybrid Fan award is our special thanks to a member who continues to visit, even if Lana isn’t their primary reason for their stay. Everyone is welcome a seat at the table.

It’s no doubt that LanaBoards can be a war zone, and this award is for the member who always tries to keep the peace so our world can keep dancing. Whether it be a moderator or an unofficial officer, let’s honour the member who walks into the depth of the fire to put out the flames with the Peace Keeper award. I’ll also be taking note of these nominees as possible future mods, or those mods who deserve an extra pat on the back. Appreciate ya.

A new special award - and one that we definitely should have already had! It is only proper that we finally thank those whose humourous posts keep the site's love alive. The Bartender Award - for Funniest Member will honour the member whose posts never fail to make us go "ha ha ha ha!"

Whether it be someone who has a meltdown over every single Lana notification or just simply cannot hold themselves back from falling apart all over the boards letting their head spin like a ballerina, the Queen of Disaster Award - for Biggest Drama Queen is for them. A little extra dramatics never hurt anyone. Most of the time.

Perhaps this is a member who is no stranger to the mod queue or one that maybe you think deserves to have their unhinged posts moderated before public view.

We have talent of all kinds here, including those who are masters of audio art! Whose remixes have tricked you into believing a demo of a Lana song leaked on the site that shall not be named? Who do you wish will be Lana’s next core producer? Let them know with the Jack Anti-noff Award - for Best Audio Artist, and perhaps you could rival Mr. Antonoff for production credits on LDR11.

As I do have to pay extra to keep the Blog section alive, you bet damn well I’m going to honour the members who actually use it.

Every year, there is always one certain thread that gives us that lust for life that keeps this site alive. The Thread of the Year award is to honour that thread and all the chaos and wonderfulness that ensued within it. We wouldn’t be without it.
Lana Del Rey's wedding as she marries Jeremy Dufrene in Des Allemands, LA - September 26th, 2024
Lasso - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
LDR as a rat
Random Useless Info Post (++Piano Theme // Morricone)
The Kink Thread
As Lana proclaimed at the 2015 Golden Globes Awards, “Well, I love drama!” Whether it be site-related drama or Lana-related drama, there is never a dry day in the Lana Fandom. The Drama of the Year award is for the little extra spice within the fandom that took the cake this year.
Lana losing all 5 of her Grammy nominations
Lana's marriage to Jeremy Dufrene
Lasso not releasing in September
Multiple bans and dupe discoveries
Taylor Swift thread being locked due to fighting
A new grand award! We have had so many iconic performances this year that it is only right that we honour the best, especially as we gear up for Lana's upcoming sold-out UK & Ireland stadium tour. Whether you loved a particular concert's setlist, outfits, vocals, special guests, or if you simply enjoyed watching either in person or via livestream, the Performance of the Year award will honour the show that will live down in herstory.
Coachella (Weekend 1)
Coachella (Weekend 2)
Fenway Park
Leeds Festival

"If you become a fashion icon, I'm gonna kill myself!" - Chuck Grant
Someone do a wellness check on Chuck as with the dream team (Molly, Etienne, and Anna supremacy) on her side, Lana served us multiple stunning looks this year. From red carpet and special event looks that left us gagged in our Appearances section, to her upgraded concert style, to even random serves on the street, Lana did not let us forget that she will forever be young and beautiful, and this new Look of the Year award will honour the most delectable serve.
Clive Davis' Annual Pre-Grammy Gala
Grammy Awards
InStyle Imagemaker Awards
Lana's Wedding
Met Gala
Lana not only blesses us with her beautiful voice, but also her beautiful self captured in photographs. It's always an exciting day when a new photoshoot is published, with fans perhaps using the opportunity to select that next photo to use as their phone lockscreen or computer wallpaper so they can have a constant reminder of their favourite face. As an individual who is beautiful both inside and out, let's honour our queen's outer beauty with the returning Photoshoot of the Year award.

Skims (Nadia Lee Cohen)

Though a controversial topic at times, leaks are undoubtedly a part of Lana stan culture, and we had quite a bountiful year this year! Which locked-away masterpiece that broke away from its chains wowed you this year? Whether it be a song we had been counting down the days for or a complete surprise, it’s only right that we honour these previously hidden gems with the Leak of the Year award.
Dark City
Everything I Do
Ice Cream
Unfixable
Zodiac
Though our basket of released songs isn't as bountiful as previous years, it has still become tradition to have our Song of the Year award. This award will honour our favourite tune that became part of our soundtrack for this year, making its way to the top of our wraps and replays.
Blue Skies
Tough (w/ Quavo)
Tough - Channel Tres Remix
Tough - Gravagerz Remix
Lost at Sea - ANNA Remix
Not only do we stan an icon, but this site itself is iconic in its own right. Whether it’s something Lana herself did or something that happened on LanaBoards, the new Iconic Moment of the Year award will honour that top memory of the year that will forever live down in Lipster history.
Lana and Elle partying together at a club in Atlanta
Lana attending the Met Gala
Lana bringing out Billie Eilish during Coachella
Lana getting married
Lana singing Roses Bloom for You as a warm-up before Rock en Seine and then posting a fan edit of the song to her Instagram stories months later
This award is for our true living legend. Who truly made LanaBoards what it was this year? Let us bestow our honour upon this sacred member through the coveted Lipster of the Year award. We'll never forget you, like the tunnel under Ocean Blvd.
