Go Digital or Go Home
ill o.g.
I'd release this album for free download, but with a real copy available for purchase. If it's already leaked, then it's already leaked. Add some extra content on the physical copy, and make a web site that can be the main information source for this album.
A) Since this album is being searched for, you're going to be able to easily get traffic.
B) You'll have people that start going to your site to see if there's new info there, so they will know about new shit you make instead of relying on where the hackers put it. Make a newsletter they can sign up for.
C) The people that really like it are going to buy it. Even moreso, put a button on the site for donations to the artists. People donate more often than one might think.
That's what I'd do...
This is a good suggestion.
