ITP V.013 THE MUSIC BUSINESS: CBS NEWS:WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND SONG LEAKS

CBS NEWS has reported on the issue of song leaks (WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND SONG LEAKS) and the variables between labels, artists, media and fans. Many variables come into play when record labels, radio station, on line zines, promoters leak new material, often given to them by the artist them selves.

Many recording artists "leak" new material (before street date) to sources (and fans) themselves provoking a conflict of interest with record labels, and on line zines.

Leaking songs to fans and media becomes a conflict of interest before street date,before a song is properly edited, mixed or mastered as the music media (promotion) takes the fall.

Many song leaks in the music industry are intentional via the artists them selves, record labels or media.
