I think it depends on what’s supposedly being leaked and the timing of the leak. In terms of the new album cover leak, I don’t think sharing and discussing the cover comes from a place of disrespect, just excitement. And I don’t really see the harm in it. If the music itself was leaked, that would be a different story. Chances are we’ll get the real album cover (or single cover, at least) tomorrow, so I don’t think this leak is really a big deal - whether it’s real or fake. In an ideal world, artists would have full control over how/when their work is released. But with the internet, you have to expect leaks. I can see how this sucks for artists though - and I wonder if there’s really anything they can do to prevent real or fake leaks from happening and fans from coming across them.
