I was gonna post that review under I Like your Review thread :33

So was I, actually. I thought it was an informative critique.

It's leaked.

IMO deleting reviews of people who heard it illegally is stupid - they still heard the album.

Ummmm...10 people have apparently invented or have access to a time machine. Yes Heaven & Earth already has 10 ratings and 1 review. Pretty sure this isn't released until next month.

All reviews / ratings deleted.

Also how is it "encouraging illegal activities"?

If we knowingly admit a review of an album that has not been legally released yet, we could be considered as encouraging illegal downloads.

In this case, we know that the latest Yes album has not been legally released, so unless a reviewer declares he has a promotional copy legally obtained (If this is false, the responsibility relies in the author of the review), we could face some troubles.

Once the album has been released, the site is not responsible, because there is no way for us to know if the reviewer legally bought the album or not, but if WE KNOW that the album has not been legally released yet and the author doesn't declared that he/she got a promotional copy, we are in a gray zone.

As a fact the Induce Act bill is so ambiguous, that almost anything could be considered infringement if approved

Whoever intentionally induces any violation identified in subsection (a) of this section shall be liable as an infringer.

In subsection (g), "intentionally induces" means intentionally aids, abets, induces (???), counsels, or procures, and intent may be shown by acts from which a reasonable person would find intent to induce infringement based (???) upon all relevant information about such acts then reasonably available to the actor, including whether the activity relies on infringement for its commercial viability.

Of course is not a solid case, but as a professional I would recommend the same to any client

BTW: I'm a lawyer

Just spotted 2 near identical 5 star reviews of the same album. Probably the same person or someone is plagiarising.

Be careful. I actually just received the promo for this YES album yesterday. So, this guy could very well have a legitimate copy.

Considering in the review he states, and I quote, "I'll buy the album" leads me to believe he does not in fact have a legally obtained promo copy, but rather downloaded the thing.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Can someone delete all the written reviews of the new Yes album 'Heaven and Earth' that fail to disclose the source of their review copy and ALL the ratings only reviews?

The release dates are published as 21st and 22nd July in the UK and US respectively

The argument that such prohibition is futile only works if we allow those who know better to flount the site guidelines with impunity. Ban this c*nt works for me.

If you don't want people reviewing or rating albums before they are officially released then they shouldn't be added to the site officially until they are and even then some albums get released in one place before the other...

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
