So far, I have not found any of the new stuff on Ares, although I don't know if its really out there on Kazaa or anything else yet. Anyhow, for those of us who have any of the new stuff (including me), lets make a pledge to not put those files up for "adoption" on any P2P servers. Lets do the band a favor and keep these songs between us, the true fans who are going to buy the album/singles anyway and just want to have something new to listen to because we've been waiting for 2 years now lol. I can see how its somewhat "noble" to send out the new stuff on sharing sites, but I don't think its right. Its way too easy for anyone that isn't "one of us", someone who will never go out and buy the stuff, to rip off Coldplay's newest material.

 

And i know the argument: If those people can download them maybe they will become true fans who will go on out and buy the stuff anyway also. However, this group if far outnumbered by the others.

^i think is a nice idea... :)

but, believe, will not work. :/

Yeah, I'm sure it won't be too long until they can be found out there, but I figured I'd do my part to help out a bit.

aww that was a noble effort Teethy! But now that they have done 2 gigs with new material.. i think its quite inevitable.. besides, we dont have to wait much longer.. a few weeks really before the single hits the radio... ;)

thats cool

I can't P2P at school/on my laptop -- but I keep them in my iTunes...however there are only about 12 people on this specific network. And about five of them have quite a few songs (outside of Parachutes and Rush of Blood)

has the official board found out we have it yet?

really camille, the single in a few weeks, do you know this or is it wishfull thinking. i wouldnt expect it until early may if the single isnt released until the 23rd.?

I'm head of music at a radio station thats about 2 weeks behind the nationals in terms of what we get sent. We're being served with singles for release on April 11th and 18th at the moment, so the nationals are probably starting to get singles in for the start of May. Considering how big a single this is, there will be considerable clamour to play it as soon as possible, which will mean a slightly longer lead time... either way, I think it'll be debuted on Radio 1 or KCRW in the States sometimes in the next fortnight.

There is already a pledge thread.

wow drinky, so will you be able to give us a headsup on when it is first played or whatever, im sure we will hear it. although the video isnt even done yet, so it cant be played on tv? Anyway i cant wait!

There is already a pledge thread.

 

Yeah, but I think thats a pledge not to listen to the new stuff at all til the album comes out

I think this is a cool idea. No way it will work

a great thought, and i really pledge to do this too, but i am afraid it only takes one person to leak them to everyone else........

4 "Talk's" appeared on my Ares :angry:

thats a nice idea..

i however, have chosen not to download any new stuff.. =P

 

wanna it to be 100% new when i buy the CD in june :P
