A thought on conduct surrounding what happened last night

[AlwaysLoveGaga 4,297]

I'm sorry for another one of these threads

We all know what this thread is about, so I'm not going to mention it by name.

Leaks are never good. But in the future (I know it's too late now), please don't talk about them. If you want to listen to them, that's one thing. But, when you talk about it, even if you don't share links, it encourages people who would otherwise not be privy to a leak being out go and find it. 

It is too late now as everyone knows, but in the future lets be a little better. Even discussing leaks in some cases can lead to the sharing of leaks as people will go out and find them now that they know it is out. 

I know many will disagree, but this is just my opinion 

Please don't talk about any leaks in this thread. Please just keep it to leak etiquette. 

Edit: Discussing is not against the rules, also I am not saying what you can and can't do. I was just sharing my opinion!

How about freedom of speech?

I thought mods said we were allowed to discuss them but not distribute/request links? Maybe I’m wrong but just trying to clarify

Unless it's apart of the forum rules not to but I understand we're you're coming from.

You are correct!

I was just saying that, in my opinion, discussing leaks can also lead to the spread.

I get your point why you don't want us to talk about leaks. But fans have been waiting for this album so long and I think we can share our opinions even about leaks.

I see where you're coming from.

But, we can both agree that we're going to be bopping to Babylon on May 29th

How about respecting an artist and their craft

I get where you're coming from but they spread like wildfire within seconds of it leaking on Twitter which is a much bigger and more general platform than this fan forum, where if anyone shares it is going to be privately with other fans who probably buy (multiple copies of) the music anyway. Stopping us talking about it on this forum just stops the discussion on this forum, not the leaks all over the internet, and doesn't do anything significant towards containing the actual leak.

I say this as someone who's not even listening to or sharing the leaks.

There world isn't perfect, and there will always be hackers/ people who want to spread the leaks. The best way to control it is for Gaga to prevent it from leaking in the first place.

Korean pop companies never ever have leaks and they have the craziest stans. It's not an impossible task.

Well, I didn't leak these songs.
