The band has always allowed bootlegs. Only EV solo shows don't. It has sparked discussion and probably increased website traffic quite a bit. They know they have our full attention at the moment.

Pearl Jam didn't play the album live.

I don't think needs to be live to be considered bootlegged? I can understand them pulling it if they did but I wouldn't expect it.
Man! It’s times like this when I wish we didn’t have the internet. We really lose a lot of mystery of what things sound or look like to what often becomes click bait. I know leaks are going to happen but having a little mystery makes things a lot cooler and more enjoyable.
I do agree, but the little snippets have only amplified my excitement to hear each song in it's entirety.

Anything is possible. Although I would say if it was a guerilla promotion its pretty brilliant. But my money is on it being a genuine fan posting it if I had to bet.

The fact that it was recorded in a public place probably helps justify the video not being taken down. I also notice there aren't any ads running, so a demonetized video says the poster isn't making money off the work. Why the link hasn't been pulled from these boards is weird to me, especially since even an allusion to an existence of a leak is usually stomped.out.
I doubt they knew he was recording, but they did sign for him and snap some pics with him right after. Not saying that is a reason for it not being pulled, but it's hard to argue with a legal recording of something out in the ether. Had someone inside gotten crystal clear recordings, they would likely have shut that down ASAP with a C&D.

What bootlegs have they openly allowed that isn't live tapings?

I understand many believes that "9/11 was an inside job", but Occam's razor clearly points to it being a random dude recording it - who also loves eric clapton (if that is the original uploader), and not it being PJ:s PR firm having this as the first step of the marketing campaign.

That 9/11 conspiracy theory has always irritated me because it can be easily proven that "Inside Job" didn't come out until 2006.

Demonetized doesn't mean there won't be ads. They can still show ads but the artists or record companies will get it. And since the songs aren't released yet. It hasn't captured the audio that will copyright claim it and either block it or keep it up but with ads
Its hard to believe that a new album, an album Ed is calling their best work, would be leaked in a low quality audio for fans to partially hear. Surely that's a stretch and they would far rather it be heard in all its glory?
I cant help but think that in the modern age this is something that is really unlikely, and would be more plausible perhaps in 1981
That's what makes it viral, the low quality nature of it. Before Avacado came out, they released like a three second clip of WWS on the radio. I recorded it and listened to it constantly! They certainly understand the buzz something like this would cause. I could be dead wrong but I hope I'm right. I actually think, from a marketing standpoint, it's a great idea.
Wasn't there a version of WWS that was horrendously off-key?

As I left my bunker and climbed into my Linux powered hydrogen car, I have decided this is a conspiracy leak. If you notice the camera, he goes back and to the left, back, and to the left

I mean, it's just a viral marketing initiative to get us all excited, right? Otherwise, why wouldn't it have been pulled. Don't get me wrong - I don't care who did it or why it's still available. I've listened to it 20 times. I think it's great! But it's gotta be on purpose...
This smells of a Boom leak! (Or Dave A). My money’s on Boom. More leaks than a sieve that bloke!
Man! It’s times like this when I wish we didn’t have the internet. We really lose a lot of mystery of what things sound or look like to what often becomes click bait. I know leaks are going to happen but having a little mystery makes things a lot cooler and more enjoyable.
Or you can just choose to not listen to the leaks.

Totally. But that’s so hard to do. I admire the ones who always hold out and don’t engage in the leaks. I definitely can’t do it.

I don’t think this was an intentional leak….. but at the 1:05 mark you hear someone say “I just want to get out” (or something like that)….. am I the only one that thinks it sounds like Stone? And he was the only band member not present inside, right?
