Daft Punk Fights Piracy By Streaming Entire Album Days Before Release

How does creating a 128 bit quality mp3 fight piracy? Flood the space with mediocre copies? It is all over the pirate bay.

Ironically fighting my desire to buy it now, too. Just got done listening to it and found it to be really disappointing, even outside the hype.

I don't get how this is 'hacker news'. Seems like a poor attempt to get _something_ Daft Punk related on the front page here.

streaming the album before the release is pretty much the norm these days
