The upcoming Fall Out Boy album has recently been leaked on the internet, and bassist Pete Wentz described the leak as "devastating" and both the label and band are suggesting that it was a low-level pressing plant employee. Wentz stated...
"Our job is to put out records and tour and make music. What are we gonna do? Sit at the plant and watch everybody? Some guy working minimum wage, why would he care how it affects us? It's a multi-pronged thing. This could be the worst leak in the history in music, f you think that every year computers, iPod, internet music grows exponentially and we're probably one of the biggest bands in rock music on the internet."
Let's not crap all over minimum wage workers. After all, minium wage in the U.S. is set at only $5.15 an hour. No minimum wage laws exist in South Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, or Tennesse. Minimum wage in Kansas is set at $2.65 an hour when the Fair Labour Standards Act does not apply. Any money the employee got from the leak was probably used to buy groceries and pay bills, which I doubt Fall Out Boy have much trouble with these days.
Now about the leak itself, take it easy pal. 'Dance, Dance,' was hella catchy, and that new tune makes me groove, but don't flatter yourselves too much.
