To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

Everyone else already understands the concept of something going on the internet being akin to opening Pandora's Box. You might as well make the best of it, because you sure as hell aren't putting it back in the box.
He gave us a nice traffic bump too with that crying. Someone clearly didn't understand the power of the Streisand effect.
Aside from that, we didn't illegally stream anything -- if anyone did, it was Youtube, and MelOn, an official distributor also had Youtube streams available, with Megaupload links: http://www.youtube.com/user/MelonSKT
All in all, the whole thing gave AKP a statistically significant traffic bump, so I'm not fazed at all.
Great job! You benefited from someone else's hard work. Then you described his words as bitching and crying even though he's given you interviews and was generally pleasant to you and your terrible website. Please brag about it some more, I'm very interested.

do they just do it to fill tracks up? i've NEVER bought an album in the US with an instrumental but a ton of the kpop albums i have include instrumentals >_<
also someone said they need the mini album, is a mini album the "album" without insts? or is it just a small album.
serious? =/
hmm...uh
ya, well not as much! im pretty sure i dont have any instrumentals o.o
wait people here are siding with the artists? why because the shit concerns a group you like?how hypocritical is that almost everyone who uses the internet has downloaded some shit illegaly, so this time your group got hit so what freaken wolverine got leaked before it made it to theatres, we should applaud those who provided it early for our pleasure. Those who download it illegaly would have done so when it is released officially and available anyways, so whats the big deal if its a week or so early. Those who care about this precious group or who buy CD's as a hobby they'll buy it regardless when it comes out.

I would assume that it's legal since they sell music in Korea and it seems like they want to open a mp3 download service for foreigners after their promotion. I doubt Epik High is getting a cent though.

Both Epik High and Allkpop mutually profit from exclusive interviews. Allkpop gets more content and higher traffic due to good content. Epik High gets a free advertisement on a website with lots of traffic. Don't think Epik High did those interviews for Allkpop's gain.
If Epik High wants to blame anyone, it should be their entertainment company. Melon says that Woollim Entertainment gave Melon rights to distribute it.
I understand the nature of the internet. Epik high is okay, but I'm not a die hard fan or anything. Just his attitude seemed to be somewhat disrespectful.
I feel for the Blo rage, thinking the same at first... Since it was just outright illegal, the label company give them the "go" to do that? Of course it would be good for PR and ads, but the entire album?
Other than her greater youth, I don't see anything about Krystal that one-ups her older sister.
But who knew that Jessica would have this much staying power among SNSD members?
Attractive(?) Check. Successful plastic surgery. Check. Skinny. Check. Tolerable/likable (?) voice and speech patterns. Check. Second to fifth in popularity (so that people didn't get too tired of her)? Check.
