Witnessing the coordinated leak of unreleased stages... where's the respect?

Last week, someone in the fan cafe shared a clip from a sealed rehearsal for the year-end show... it spread like wildfire before the broadcast. Part of me wanted to watch, but another part cringed at the blatant disregard for the artists' hard work. This culture of spoiling surprises for clout really undermines the whole experience... how do we balance curiosity with basic ethics?

That leaked clip from the fan cafe, was it from a headline act? What's the actual legal recourse for artists when their work is spoiled like this?

Watch how leaks ironically boost sales more than lawsuits.

Most leaks from fan cafes are minor previews, not full album spoilers. Artists can sue for copyright infringement, but it's costly and rarely worth it for a short clip. Remember when that big band had a song leak last year? The hype actually boosted their sales. Legal action might just draw more attention to the leak, making it worse.

Charles calling leaks 'minor previews' is a bit off here lol. That sealed rehearsal was a full stage spoiler, not some tiny clip. It really undermines the artists' hard work when surprises get ruined like that.
