How are people getting their hands on unreleased material?

[GagaUnderYou 4,981]

Couple of monsters claim to have different versions of Nothing On But the Radio and outtakes from every era. How are they getting them? Trading?  How are they able to have things from ARTPOP when that era was worked on with offline computers? I wish one large file on day surfaces with everything in HQ!

Illegal bad cookie doings

[ryanripley 86,575]

illegal trading circles

they manage to hack into gaga's and/or her producers networks and steal all sorts of crap and then have the audacity to put a price tag on it

things like Bloody Mary stems can go for thousands of dollars and what's worse is that, if a trader like fahran does leak something, they all get upset because it makes those files now worthless

as if they were theirs to profit off of anyway

Do people actually pay those crazy prices? Where can we even see what's available? and the prices?

i remember some people on her talking about how some things go for $10,000+ but i have no idea if they even do pay them, but some basic thinks like unposted selfies of gaga go for very cheap

if they ever leak then the person who's holding onto them right now is going to be very upset at losing out on thousands  

i have no idea how to get involved in trading tbh, everyone i've learnt has just been from listening to monsters who are involved in the audio community of the fanbase, i'd be very interested in knowing what the most expensive thing is though

Impersonating (f.e. writing mails in the name of someone's manager, asking for the files), hacking, buying it from someone who worked on the music etc

Yeah it would be cool to see how much things are worth. But do these people selling think people will actually pay that much for material? Do you know of anyone who has actually purchased material? How long can they really hold onto this stuff?

i pretty much told you everything i know  

they probably use material they own to pay too, like maybe trading a pack of stems for a BTS video?  

hopefully someone who knows will come into this thread

They can be found on the dark web, obviously because everything about the process is illegal. And only the desperate and/or ignorant people would actually pay that price, but sometimes the price tag is a scam so most of the time no transactions take place and it’s more trading
