When, last Saturday, a Coldplay "torrent" appeared on the Bittorrent network, it was instantly picked up by any and all who had the good fortune in seeing it.
The torrent (those who don't know about Bittorrent, its peer-to-peer file sharing) was labelled as "After After Before," an unknown name to all. So it was quickly grabbed by everyone who had some previous affiliation with the band, instantly thinking it was the greatly anticipated follow-up to 2005's "X&Y." Unfortunately, unbeknownst to many who were caught up in the furore of it all, Coldplay hinted that the new album would be released in 2007 if not later. While an advance copy of an album is not unusual on Bittorrent, a full year before is quite extroardinary, even for the multi-talented pirates of abroad.
