Because it's just that ridiculous
Sooo I'm on the verge of just ditching kattunlove and J-One. Seriously, point out one GOOD reason for bringing up this stupid rule. I was ok with a lot of the rules on kattunlove since well, it's huge, that I understand but helloooo? Can certain fans stop being elitist? I mean, did you guys READ the polls at J-one? You know what? We learned about this in gov/econ class. I forgot what it's called, but it's skewing the wording of questions to manipulate the answers given. The poll on kattunlove is much better and less biased.
So why I find this stupid:
1. "maybe people will buy it" This changes things how? Delaying a release is reeaaaally going to get someone to want to buy a release. They'll find it somewhere else, or if they aren't a fan, maybe they just won't even bother. And if they really didn't want to buy it in the first place, they'll buy it at the cheapest place (most likely YesAsia) which won't even count for the oricon charts. If you ask me, getting the leak on a website and putting a link to where people can buy it is the best way to go. That way at least people see it on a website that cares, no? Btw, I just realized that J-One uses affiliate links, wth? キモイ
2. "Fans who buy it should get to listen to it first." Stop being so elitist and get off the internet. Seriously. Then you'll ALWAYS be first and tbh, if you order from HMV there's a good chance that the package will come like a week after the release date anyway. Doh. (CDJapan might be a bit faster... I HAVE received items on the release date when I bought from them before, but their shipping cost's been killing me lately.) I don't know about YesAsia because I have an oricon obsession.
3. It's even more hilarious if you look at the poll @ kattunlove because so far? Only like 5 people don't feel like buying things even if they can. And the 60 w/e people that said they'd think about buying if the release was delayed in J-one? I be that most of the people who answered that were thinking "Hypothetically, if I wasn't going to buy the CD to begin with..." and just felt like they had to be "better fans" (which is a stupid term... you could buy everything they release and have a horrid personality and love wanking in communities) by buying w/e. The rest can't afford it and just buy what they can/want.
4. If you're soooo into "supporting" the artist, become like dnbn. ONLY allow small clips of songs and don't ever post full song uploads. EVER. That, I will respect. I also lol at people "feeling less guilty" when they download it on the release date. Dude, it's illegal either way. Get over it. LOL No one's going to smile at you and be like "Oh, you downloaded it on the release date? You're so much better than those who downloaded it, BEFORE the release date!" Besides, I think you know how to scroll down, yes? No one's forcing YOU to download the leaks. =.= But I'm not you, ok?
In the end, this is annoying to me because I LOVE leaks (could you not tell?) and I buy all their releases. Leaks are fun. You think that you're going to have to wait until xx but then when it comes out a bit early, it's like a surprise that brightens your (at least my) day. Also, I hate ripping stuff ok? If you're telling me that you want the fastest way to get a song to be to "get the CD and rip it yourself" a;slkdj;askjf that's so annoying. Especially since this computer can't rip CDs to 320kbp (this is an oooold computer so shush >.> ). The only reason I watched the QoP concert more than the cKIIY one was because QoP is available on youtube. I'm lazy, I know. Ugh, if EITHER one of the delays pass the poll and get put in action, I'm leaving kattunlove for good. I've been living off of naver lately anyway. =.=
K, sorry. Had to get that off my chest. Back to studying for Japanese/Calcor procrastinating... whichever. Not locking this because I see no reason to.
Way to ruin the positive hype for the album, fandom. Wth.

1. "maybe people will buy it". Ugh, maybe did you say? No, no no no. Either they WILL buy it or they won't. Thirteen year old fangirls who have no income and only lurk, WON'T buy from cdjpn, simple as that.
2. "Fans who buy it should get to listen to it first." Oh wait, so you're saying you're the ONLY place on the whole entire web that can provide leaks? Oh, oh i see :||| /sarcasm.
3. "60 w/e people that said they'd think about buying." I think "think" here means 'no'. LOL better fans? Right, I see how that works COMPLETELY. --> What you said, The rest can't afford it and just buy what they can/want. I agree with 100%, just because an album is due to be release on XX day, doesn't mean we MUST buy it ON that day. Sure, it may not count to the charts and all, but in the end, if you're willing to buy the album out of 'want' and not 'need', the main idea is you end up with the album in your hands right? So what if I buy it a year later? >.>;
4. "Oh, you downloaded it on the release date? You're so much better than those who downloaded it, BEFORE the release date!" ROFLOL. I totally like how you think :Dv Seriously, how rich will you have to be to buy every. single. song. you listen to? I now have 2200 songs, so if I consider it ~$2 a song then whoa, where am i going to find ~$4400? D: And that's not including songs you can't buy! Whatever happened to 'music is made to be shared'? :X
I love leaks too. It's called "Sampling" isn't it? What's wrong with that? What about the people who play it on the street? In shops? What's that then? >.>; It's ridiculous yeah, this whole fiasco. And what's to say the mods WON'T secretly indulge in leaks?
Meh, the main point is, with KAT-TUN being so popular, there's no WAY their releases WON'T be leaked SOMEWHERE. It doesn't even have to be KTlove or jone. Heck, just look at me! :Dv

I don't know why it is so much ruckus about this issue, I mean, it's not like it's the first time leaks are out....
Well, everybody has their own opinion...
