This is strange....

[dissonance19]

I just saw this bulletin from a guy runs who a Alex Gray fan myspace who works for anti piracy company..

found it odd that he would say that about track names.


I wrote him a message though saying "wait, so those titles they've given us aren't the real ones?" If he replies I will let you guys know.


this is what the bulletin said

do I need to put this in flashing lights? lol

[secular glitch]

HELLA, huh? cool band

[toolloot]

Doesn't mention anything about Tool?

[dissonance19]

The subject of it was Tool's new album and that is what he is talking about.

[toolloot]

He's probably just a cryptic bastard.

[bass_dude]

It's not cryptic, it says he cannot reveal the tracknames. Saying that the tracknames have not been released yet- which goes against the tracklisting on Toolband, adam's space, here, etc, as it means they are fake.

Alex

[praefector]

sounds like hes saying he cant reveal the tracknames of the supposed "real thing" (which isnt real). if it were real, it wouldve been flagged and itd be all over every torrent dump site by now with tons of user posts to back it up

[toolloot]

So he's saying toolband.com is lying to us?

[bass_dude]

sounds like hes saying he cant reveal the tracknames of the supposed "leak torrent" (which isnt real). if it were real, it wouldve been flagged and itd be all over every torrent dump site by now with tons of user posts to back it up

no, he says about the album, not the torrents.

[praefector]

no, he says about the album, not the torrents.

either way im calling BS

why would he even bother to make this post?

[praefector]

can anyone vouch for the "company" this guy works for ?

or if volcano or tool have enlisted the services of an "anti piracy software company"?

[astrorot]

the guy can't even spell 'find'

[Boozy Eulogist]

HELLA, huh? cool band

Damn straight.


I like how this guy acts like most of the rabid fans won't grab leaks AND buy it.

I think I may have met this person actually. When I worked at CoSM a guy came in who couldn't seem to shut up about the woes of internet piracy.

If that was him....let him know that we all, including Alex Grey, thought he was annoying as hell.

[dissonance19]

So he's saying toolband.com is lying to us?


just what he is saying contradicts what we've been told. I always thought the tracks were real and stuff. except first few weeks. But this is just odd.

I'm only posting what I saw. He hasn't read or responded to my message yet.

instead of questioning him about the album ask about his company and search for verfiable information on whether or not an AP company is even working with/for tool

[Visceralus]

those anti piracy companies are evil. damn cease and desist order :(

haha, we're all get to hear it eventually so.

[blair's man sausage]

not much but definately has some "truthiness" regarding the lack of leaks

[slicknickshady]

I want it to leak but i dont want it to leak soon if you know what i mean. I will be happy if it leaks like April 26 so it does not affect sales that much.

[TheHolyGift]

I can't wait to have a "hella" of a time.

i dont think it will my friend...after all fuck the kids that d/l and dont buy..they will never experience the excitement when u got the cd on your hands and run home to liisten to it..

[czar]

I've already pre-ordered it. If it leaks, it leaks. That's all I'm sayin'.

[Geedorah]

When Lateralus came out I ran home to listen to it. Then I threw up. Not because of the cd, the cd is awesome. I had a 102 temp and was very sick. Anywho.....

That is an awesome avatar.

[HalfASandwidch]

OMG is it real?
OMG no?...

[Zenith]

I just d/led a leaked copy that said 10,000 days, but it was just a bunch of crap. Hopefully this will remain true until release date.

It's not a bunch of crap. The real songs are hidden between the wavelengths.

[toocooltool]

OMG no?...

What?


I would never download it, im waiting for the day.

Huh? Talking about cvar's avatar here. Do you not remember what you just posted?

[toocooltool]

What i just posted is what you just quoted.

[TheHolyGift]

I have a bunch of hilarious leaks, that sound like aloke dutta, the guitarist from pearl jam and the singer from the chili peppers all got shitfaced and turned on a tape recorder.

And then they all opened up MS paint and created your avatar?

yeah that was on a shit myspace page....that's kinda an oxymoron since 99% of myspace is pretty much shit

[HalfASandwidch]

What i just posted is what you just quoted.
You posted... "OMG is it real?" quoting me and then briefly deleted the post... I guess...

[TheHolyGift]

And then they all opened up MS paint and created your avatar?

No, that was Blair. He's trying to tell us what The Pot is about.

[toocooltool]

You posted... "OMG is it real?" quoting me and then briefly deleted the post... I guess...

Users cant delete their own posts can they?

WTF are you going on about?

You taking the piss or something?

[waffel]

nmaybe you should just go BUY the album and pay tribute to these great artists...;)



what an idiot. cuz everyone that looks for and downloads the leak of vicarious wont buy the album. funniest thing was when napster was in its prime the sale of CDs actually went UP.

[kamyar]

the days of everyone going to kazaa or limewire or something when an album gets released are pretty much over..

so putting all the fake songs up... i doubt will make a difference.

i'm guessing that once the cd has leaked.. people will use yousendit.com to continuously send the whole album and with their super fast connections.. it'll probably travel over the net in less than a day.

by the time they shut down specific sites.. it'll be too late..

i'm buying it the day it's out but i'll also be one of the first ones to download it. it's been too long.

[waffel]

actually, it will probably be put into a torrent and once that happens and people start seeding it there is no stopping it.

[toocooltool]

Yeah, on myspace, you doorknob.

[kamyar]

i've downloaded off of torrent.. it works but wouldn't it be as easy to corrupt it.. with having 10 to 20 computers.. share fake files of the Same size... ?


for example.. when you finish downloading you'r files will be corrupted due to the work that the fake computers have done.. that's how they screw up kazaa/lime wire etc..

i'd the best thing would be yousendit.. each person who downloads it should yousendit to themselves and share the new link so that many different links will be out there so when yousend it downloads run out for one link.. another willl have downloads left on it.

[dracomordag]

truth. the majority of CDs I own I listened to on the internet before hand. it's such a great way to hear about music.

[dissonance19]

yeah I posted this 2 days ago. Found it odd even though I've been believer in them for awhile now that he would say this below when we know track names. I asked him about it but he didn't respond. That fucker.


"anyway...i cant give away too much about the album such as track names etc but i can tell you as of now that the album is set to be released on 5/02."

[Hannibal]

why can't he tell us the track names, that we already know? Hmmmmm....Even though this could possibly be a hint, I don't think it should be researched all that well because its probably nothing.

[dissonance19]

yeah, thats what I found odd. But yeah, he could have just not known they've told us about the names.

[aquarium salt]

Yeah, on myspace, you doorknob.
I give you two lols for that.

[spitcodfry]

One on torrent that I've only got like 33.8% on (seems to download every now and then when it feels like it, started it yesterday) clocks in at a total of 70.78 mb. Can anyone confirm whether this is fake or not, one who may have happened to download it? That one thread that says most are gonna have a hard time finding it doesn't peak my optimism.

I think that size has been reported to be fake a couple of times.

[spitcodfry]

Well it breaks down the song titles as such in the .txt file:

Vicarious 7:03
Jambi 7:11
Wings for Marie pt 1 6:19
Wings for Marie pt 2 11:12
The Pot 6:10
Lipan Conjuring 1:12
Lost Keys 8:30
Rosetta Stoned 11:13
Intension 7:20
Right in Two 8:54
Viginti Tres 2:08

Dunno if that is accurate at all. And does anyone know if one can preview audio files in the new Bitcomet? It says video preview but when I open it for a track it just stays on "buffering"

hm. that actually sounds pretty close. wings for marie was said to be at 11:14 as well as rosetta stoned. intension and right in two look similar as well. they said the times on billboard announcement of the vicarious as the single.

[spitcodfry]

This thing doesn't list seeds or leacher numbers off mininova so I'm skeptical if it's anything at all. I'll keep this thing up for two weeks if I have to see if it's something.

[spitcodfry]

Hey does anyone know how to copy+paste a folder of incomplete files to a different torrent program? Bitcomet doesn't let you execute a file until the whole package is complete. And this preview thing isn't working for me at all.

[Havokb8]

I got one that was 70 meg it was fake, and it sucked total balls too...may not be the same one but im sure it is fake.

[spitcodfry]

Mine just finished and it was all blank songs. Has a timeline when you open them and everything but all blank.

Yeah i just read the comments on that torrent, that guy is a piece of shit with too much time on his hands.

[Vaginal Replicator]

Yea, I found that torrent the other day hoping it was the real thing and posted the link for others interested in it.

[HalfASandwidch]

Yeah, on myspace, you doorknob.
No you fuckwad. Someone alreayd posted the link to this awhile ago. You should put a picture of your face over the cat's.

[HalfASandwidch]

What?


I would never download it, im waiting for the day.
So then what the fuck is with this? I never said you would download it anywhere in this thread. What the fuck are YOU going on about?
