Why Did iTunes Leak The New Raconteurs Album?

Who needs Zshare when iTunes seems to now be leaking albums early? First it was The Shins, and now the new Raconteurs album Consolers of the Lonely seems to have enjoyed an early release last week thanks to Apple’s online music store. Could these supposed “accidents” be a sign of the walls closing in on the MP3 hub? It’s possible. But as long as Jack White can get the album out sooner than Gnarls Barkley did, he should survive.
