Thank you to those who understand my point of view! I shared the links with good intention. My first thought when I heard the tracks was, ooh, the Atop community will love this, can't wait to hear their opinion! And then I shared those links on the Members Only thread. Turns out within minutes, the links were taken down, because WBR put in place a constantly-changing hyperlink to the songs. So I replaced them with a set of general instructions that you can learn and will be useful for anyone who wants to learn more about how website components are integrated, and such. If you are willing to try, you can apply your new skill to any website you visit.
And, thank you to those who reminded me that posting the direct links was not a good idea. I overlooked that in my excitement. Good to see that WBR took down those links immediately after.
I hope I didn't disappoint anyone, although I'm sure I have. I'm especially sorry to books and lydia, and anyone who shares their opinion, perhaps we can agree to disagree.

First things first, it's NOT a hacked version. As long as the file is in the source code of a publicly available website, it's public. Not hacked. Completely public. Yea they hid it deep in the source code, so that no one would find it, but it's still public. Secondly, I was wrong to post the links on the Atop thread just now, because that was SHARING. That's why, now, for anyone who is dying to listen to the song, can listen to it for themselves by trying to find it on the public site. ETA: Hacking implies "unauthorised access" to data in a system or computer. There was no form of authorisation that I had to get through in order to listen to the song. Please use your words right.I suggest you review your post: "hidden in the source code so no one would find it". The intent is that no one hear the song until the release date. There was no assumption that someone would spend time trying to figure out how to get around their safeguards. You can try to finesse the language describing your behavior, but it is still wrong. If you disagree, I suggest you contact WBR, tell them what you've done, and ask them whether they are okay with it. I'm betting they won't be pleased. Hm, the same thing can be said for YouTube videos and other videos and pictures at various sites. Yet how many people here download YouTube videos using some software, all of which looks for the "hidden" files in the source code to download the videos. And may of the images that are posted here from Instagram, but not within the Instagram frame, are done so by looking at the Instagram page source, finding the link to the image file, and posting the link to that file here. Any computer programmer knows how to pull up the source code for web pages and look at the "hidden" files and links which are not very hidden at all. Every browser has a quick link tool that will show the source code. I'm not making a judgement that anything is right or wrong in any of this, I'm just saying that I see some pot calling the kettle black going on here! |

Still excited to hear it like I have been since I heard it would be the end of March. Don't want any leaks. Job well done.  |

Just for your information, YouTube actually realised that video files can be ripped easily off their source code, so they revamped their system such that video files can no longer be found in them. Those video ripper softwares use some other method that I am not familiar with. |

For the record, here is what I fedback to Warner-Chappell on their website:
I would like to inform you that it might not be a good idea to post the Masters of the not-yet-released track "Can't Go Home" by Steve Aoki, Felix Jaehn & Adam Lambert (http://warnerchappell.com/song-details/WW010587619000). I was on that site, managed to dig into the source code and gain access to the full unreleased track. I believe that it would be a good idea to remove the two .mp3 files from the site to prevent a pre-release leak.
Looking forward to the official release of the amazing song, though! Thank you in advance.
