After BitTorrent Leak, U2 Offers Free Album Streaming on MySpace

[nsane.forums]

Users will be able to stream their forthcoming album, "No Line On The Horizon," for free well ahead of its scheduled March 2nd release date.

In a possible bid to counter fans from simply downloading copies for free on P2P and file-sharing networks and services outright, U2 is now allowing visitors to their MySpace page to stream their new "No Line On The Horizon" for free in its entirety before its official March 2nd release date.

The album was leaked to BitTorrent last Wednesday after Australian Universal's online music store accidentally allowed fans to purchase and download the album.

So far album reviews are pretty evenly mixed, with some calling it the "biggest deception of the year" and others calling it the "best U2 [album] ever, [it's an] instant classic."

Judge for yourself if you haven't downloaded a copy already.
