not read all the posts - but is there a way of locking the files onto the uSB - so you can only play from the stick? this way Prince would control/contain the leaking aspect which i think is his main problem. althoug i'm sure there would be ways around this.

Dandroppedadime - There is always a way around everything if people want it enough, if they managed to find a way to lock it, they would just rip the audio into a sound recording program such as Audacity, Soundforge etc... it wouldnt be worth the hassle because if people are going to illegally share it they will always find a way.

What he may want is a label to pay him a load of cash up front for the pleasure of paying out further cash to release it esentially buying it off him with him actually still keeping ownership then if this happens it doesnt cut into the % he would have got from record sales. All the risk goes onto the label then without effecting him, especially if it flops.

Remember back in 2007 when Trent Reznor surreptitiously planted USB flash drives loaded with new music at NIN concerts? Pure marketing brillance!
