Title: Album leaked?
Post by: pamplina on October 04, 2018, 12:51:16 PM
I found this link that gives you a password protected ZIP:
https://zone-telechargement-albums.com/go.php?n=373133

As usual, they redirect you to a page where you have to click some banners to get the password, and (at least to me) impossible to complete:
http://zone-telechargement-albums.com/pwd.php?n=373133

The ZIP file seems good (or it's a well crafted fake), because all the songs and file sizes seem to match with the known durations, although the song order is different.

I will try to crack the file, but it will take a looong time.

I will definitely buy it in its most expensive edition, as I always do, I swear.
But meanwhile i will take any way to listen to it, just can't wait, and with no remorse whatsoever, life is too short. So yes, please keep us posted !

That's the one (and so far only) leak I found, too. I wonder if it would actually work if someone was stupid enough to submit their credit card details.

Anyway, if you could crack it (how in the world do you do that?!), we surely wouldn't mind.  :o But I'm expecting a "better" leak soon, as the songs seem to be out in the wild. Some Trapper Man will hunt them down. ;)

Well, you could argue that we've waited this long so another month or so won't make any difference, however I don't really see the point in waiting.  Why don't you ask someone to buy it for your Christmas present in that case?

Any leak that ask you for an e-mail and a credit card is fake or worst, malware, no matter if it looks like the real thing, like this case, it's fake 100%.

My zip contains 14 files, and they all have the appropriate size (longer songs - bigger size). If they're fake, someone must have invested quite a bit of time in making them look so real. This sounds unlikely to me. You know what? If the password doesn't magically appear sometime soon, I'll go back to them when the real files are out, and compare the files sizes. Then we'll know.

It's a scam. What they do is they keep track of releases of artists with a big fan bases. They make the zip look real by including files with the same name and same file length. They trick the fans into providing information so they can sell their data to callcentres and all.

There is not going to appear any password, because is fake.

If you are so sure it's the real thing, why don't you put your credit card details in order to get the password and have the songs?

If i was so sure as you are, I would do it.

But as I'm sure it's fake, I'll never do such a thing.

Anyone who has the mentioned rar file. unzip it, you get 2 files, a text file with dubious links for the password, and the password protected zip file.

Heres how to get access to the content.

Download a zip password remover. Run the remover with the associated zip file, using brute force method maximum of 5 characters....

leave your computer running day and night for a month....

Finally crack the password, to find that its a corrupted archive....

By which time the album will be out anyway!

Realize that you've wasted a months electricity for nothing.

Sob uncontrollably into the nearest beer.

Yeah, right. Given that you’re 100% sure that the zip doesn’t contain any real files, you’re following this thread quite religiously, though. 😉 But Pottel is right: Time to move on to a real leak.

Sorry guys no  offence meant....

Railking, I run a studio in a special needs school and because of our crap budgets I have to build my own computers and write my own code. I can tell you 100% that from a technical standpoint its not a legit file. If you want to check any zip for yourself it should open in raw format inside notepad. The one from the download reports as corrupt...

One of the linked offers was to become a taster for cadburys though.....

Maybe things are looking up lol...

Well, I'll certainly believe you, then, 2manyguitars. My point was just this: Just because someone is in possession of the real files doesn't mean they can't use them to fish for credit card details etc. They won't fool me with Cadburys, though. I'm VERY much into MK, but not THAT much into chocolate. ;)

Alright, I have the 14 files of the official edition in front of me, ready for streaming. Trembling with excitement. :o

I got them the official way because I work as a freelance journalist occasionally. Like JF, I'm not allowed to share them, and they're watermarked. Even though I personally miss the good old age of leaks (can it really be that record companies got a tighter grip on this than they used to have? I always assumed it would become harder and harder to keep stuff secret), I can't share them with you, as much as I'd love to.

Actually, I won't even listen to them right now. The temptation to do so is strong, but I want to find a quiet hour or two to fully appreciate the songs and celebrate the event. I may not find that time until after next weekend – I think I'll want to listen to them in the car, driving down the road wherever – but I'll post my personal take on the songs here as soon as I've digested them.

And thanks for understanding that I can't share the link. As I found out, it woudn't even work technically. If I open it on any other device than where I opened it first, it won't let me in. And the tracks are watermarked.

I have a pleasure of being in contact with some great, great people from MK's management team and last time I was told to report about any album leaks. So I said there was a leak of all the lyrics and sure enough, later this day all the lyrics were published on Mark's official website.

This situation is funny, because I'm partly responsible for leaks of Tracker and some other albums. Shame on me, I know, but it's like a hacker who can find a weak spot in the software and later can be hired by its creators for defense.

What really made me emotional is that, quote, "Mark wants to keep this album off the internet until it’s officially released".

So let's be gentlemen and report about any leaks!

That's absolutly nonsense.

If the album leaks, it will between us, between fans, that we are going ALL to BUY the record and probably in VARIOUS OF THE RELEASES, despite the leak.

Actually, a leak between fans should be good for record companies because they won't loose any money, and they could do some reviews in internet that could help to boost sales when it's released.

I won't report any leaks at all, if it happens between us.

Another different thing is that the album leaks in a download site that has others leaks, that's a different story. But if JF or Rail King leaks the record between us, for example, what would be the sense in report them? what harm are they really doing?

NONE

That's my point.

This situation is funny, because I'm partly responsible for leaks of Tracker and some other albums. Shame on me, I know, but it's like a hacker who can find a weak spot in the software and later can be hired by its creators for defense.

What really made me emotional is that, quote, "Mark wants to keep this album off the internet until it’s officially released".

So let's be gentlemen and report about any leaks!

That's absolutly nonsense.

If the album leaks, it will between us, between fans, that we are going ALL to BUY the record and probably in VARIOUS OF THE RELEASES, despite the leak.

Actually, a leak between fans should be good for record companies because they won't loose any money, and they could do some reviews in internet that could help to boost sales when it's released.

I won't report any leaks at all, if it happens between us.

Another different thing is that the album leaks in a download site that has others leaks, that's a different story. But if JF or Rail King leaks the record between us, for example, what would be the sense in report them? what harm are they really doing?

NONE

That's my point.

Actually... Any of you would had report JF if, instead of saying he had the record, he would had shared it privately between us?

I want to believe that none of us would had done something like that. As we never done it with Quizzy.

We are brothers and sisters in arms.

Yeah, I genuinely agree, I think it's more or less about leaks like this link that was shared before which spread viruses (?), but only the real one.

You can actually react to these leaks pretty fast, and effective.

Even if JF shared something, it would take an army of FBI agents and a million of dollars to figure that out, unless it would became shared randomly of course.

I completely agree jbaent. We fans will buy it in any case the album, and in all editions. It would certainly not be an economic loss for Universal.

Hey I already explained my position earlier and I too agree with jbaent. By the way, I'm not going to by the album... I'm happy to listen to it via streaming services like Apple Music.

And this is the danger of leaks, because for the most of non-fans it's a one-time experience. Like — so, I heard the album, I don't like it, whatever *deletes the folder*.

Us Russians don't know at all what "paid music" is, Russian people just download everything and everybody's accostumed to that, so leaks here is a really big deal.

I asked again and again Universal France if I could publish an article with some snippets,but I have no answer.
My article is ready, but my chief doesn't want to publish it without any new audio stuff.
The silence from my contact at Universal France seems to confirm what Pavel said : "Mark doesn't want to share anything before the 16th november"
it's a shame, and imho it's a commercial error; if you want people to buy your album, you have to tease them with more than just one song.
not necessarily other entire songs, but some snippets could make the deal I guess

They didn't said no to you...

You can publish the snippets due to their lack of answer and if they say something, you can delete it.

They should had said no.

However they are about to publish snippets anyway, look at this:

I share your thoughts, JF. But in your opinion, after you've heard it, Down The Road Wherever is a commercial album?

I wouldn't say "commercial" because it's a kind of negative word I guess, but Yes I would say it has some radio-friendly tunes, more than in the past imho

I see your point, but I have also to convince my chief, because I don't have the right to publish myself
and my situation is a bit weird : I am not a journalist, so it's even more complicated...
My chief (who is not really my chief) must convince other journalists that a non-journalist publishes an article about an album that the artist don't want to see any parts on the internet before its release...god, it's Kafka !  :smack  :o :-X
despite leaks/rights issues, I also have to manage my tricky situation at my job that created me some "enemies" last year....
not simple at all... :-\

Time flies and 16th of November is not like the distant future. Less than a month actually. My personal trouble with snippets, is that this 30-60-90 seconds part stuck so much in your head, so when you're listening to the whole song, you go like — oh, that's the snippet part! And it actually get stuck for years. At least for me. So to paraphrase Mercedes slogan — the full or nothing.

Hahaha, you're right Pavel, it happened to me with Privateering and I was like, "that's the snippet..", I hated it. So, yes, the full or nothing.

No leak, no snippet, nothing.
