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.Thanks Ghost! I went to listen to it and really liked it! I did not follow your instructions, all I needed to know was that the links existed, the rest was pretty obvious, esp. when using Chrome. I believe the beauty of Adam's voice in an EDM context is that his range produces all the sounds that would normally require digital processing to modify a (less skilled) vocalist's voice. Related to this, until this day I am not sure why that one note in Runnin' ("... my Hea-*-art") needed processing - we now have live proof he can hit that in his sleep (and even when sick). Wonderful find, I like instant gratification  |

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. Ghost - I love you! That is all  |

I know what Ghost means. For me, the vocal is very chill. It is sweet and pure. However, i think he IS showing his range because he is using his lower register more! CGH might be one of my favorite vocals of Adam, ever!! Obsessed with another song! Gah! What a week!
ETA: I can 100% see CGH on radio! It is another earworm. Jaehn did a fabulous job with the production!

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! Given that it appears that I am being referred to as the "pot", I would like to point out that you have no idea what or how I download anything from the Internet, so please don't make assumptions about my behavior. In the case under discussion, it is clear that the official recording has not yet been released and is not meant to be heard until the release date. So you can make any justification that you wish, but it is still unethical, if not illegal, to access or provide access to the recording prior to its release date. I have a contact at a record label and I am happy to call this person tomorrow to clarify the ethics of this situation for you if that would be helpful. Sorry, my reply was not meant as a reply to you personally, I should have made that more clear. It was meant to be a reply to the discussion in general and would apply to a number of the posts from various people. Your post was just the last one I read before posting. I was only trying to point out the inconsistency of applying a judgement to one situation and not another. Also, if a link to a file is clearly visible in a web page's source code, it is NOT safeguarded or hidden. It is clearly visible to every computer guru and people who can follow a few easy instructions for using the tools in the browser menu. There are ways to make such files safeguarded and inaccessible and WBR should have programmers who know how to do that. |

I have been wondering if Aoki wants it leaked?
Also, he is not with WBR. Is there a reason you all are referring to WBR?
