I think so too. But other artists suffer from leaks even way more ahead of the album. If you see it as a leak one week ahead its nothing serious and people will actually have the choice of streaming. They dont have to illegally download it in order to listen to it. If they really wanted to buy it in the first place they might as well buy a. Membership for that month
The ONLY way people would stop seeing this as a drama would be that everyone, who bought a membership during the week ahead release of ANTI on TIDAL, would get some sort of download code as well to download it for free (which maybe would count because samsung would pay for it)
