Did they ever catch the guy? Such a huge dick move to leak someone’s work.

‘What the fuck do you think you’re doing?’

Everything by everyone leaked back then, actually from 2000-2001 until quite recently, 2016-2017. CDs and advance promo copies were sent everywhere to press and stuff, so everything leaked before the official release date.

It's true that Madonna had a very bad history with leaks, but with "American Life", it leaked just a day before release day? That was very good in her case.

True but then back then streaming did not exist and buying music online was uncommon. They were depending on CD sales and so that album being available before release date was a big problem. The music industry was still struggling to find a way to combat piracy.

Music (the album) was on Napster quite awhile before it was released also.
