Give the poor Jakoni a break. When "Damage done" is released I will buy it. But if someone rips it before the release date - something that tends to happen all the time - I would be happy to get the MP3's, make a CD and listen to it as soon as I can. I am not hurting anyone's sales, I am just enjoying the album for a month beforehand. Then I am buying it. Heck, I bought three copies of "The Mind's I"... although I gave one to Rahvin, this should be the proof of my good intentions re DT.
I do not understand why Jakoni has been subject to all this fuss: after all he was posting a respectable question. And, while he sure is stupid if he thought somebody would post a link for ripped MP3s on this official forum, there's nothing to prevent someone from sending a private message after seeing his request and giving him whatever: so if he wanted to be visible to other DT fans who might get in touch with him and trade audio files he did the right thing.
Incidentally, I do not think the MP3's are out already, since the band is recording these days.
And Thanatos, even if you win my JOTD (Joke Of The Day) award with "Rahvin is too short to be a good song" - yes, indeed -, while I do not condone spelling mistakes I find it a bit distasteful on your part to make fun of a declaredly foreign person because they write "shuve" instead of "shove". I would like to know how many foreign languages you can speak and write fluently, then we'll discuss. In one of them.
