I really get your point Tricia but I would have to wait at least a fortnight more than everyone to get the CD. Its so painful seeing everyone write about how great it is, and how they queued up for hours to get it- so this is reassurance for me, and i'm sure many other overseas fans. But you can guarantee i'm buying at least 2 copies in the first week anyway.
I was going to say, for me personally, this leak has just saved me from having to stand weeks (even months) of reading how awesome the CD is and feeling all frustrated. I won't be able to buy it here anyway, so I was going to download sooner or later.
Granted I feel bad for Vanessa, it's very unfair to her after all the work, cos this is surely going to stop some fans from buying. But for me, it's perfect.
