What's wrong with enjoying leaks?

[WhiskeyLikeMisery 418]

Maybe It's because I'm new around here and just don't get it but we don't control if something leaks or not why is enjoying a leak a crime on here? I'm still going to stream like crazy and support Gaga what's the issue?

Because its illegal and it disrespects the work of the artist

She and her team don't get the money for their work. That's it.

It is disrespectful. 
however, unreleased songs (that will never get released) or demos (after the studio version is released) is okay.

But weren't you in the discord when ROM was leaking posting song lyrics from the leak?

Because you hear an unfinished version and that can set yourself to disappointment sometimes (It can be a demo, for example). 

Then I don't find issues with hearing leaks, but then you're not surprised once it's released. It's like opening your Xmas gifts before

Its fine aslong as you buy the album

Unless it's the full song in HQ I think it ruins the experience. For example, imo the part that leaked from ROM was the best part and if I had already already listened to it I might've felt underwhelmed when listening to the full song.

Gaga is the only artist whose leaks I have listened to and the only artist that I consistently pay for music, merch, live shows, etc. Are there people out there that are fanatic enough about an artist to spend the time looking for low quality leaks and then never bother to purchase the HQ version when it's available? If you're concern is people that pirate music than they're going to do that with or without leak after the album is released. Note: I have not listened to a single Chromatica leak. But I'm not the least bit sorry for listening to previous album and song leaks.

I agree. But it's not some kind of atrocious moral failing that so many people treat it as such on here

I don't think it is which is why I didn't say anything about that. I myself have listened to SL and FW when they leaked

Its not a crime to listen to leaks just keep it to yourself,  dont tell us where to find it or what you think about it
