U2's album already on the Internet

Pirated versions of U2's new album 'How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb' have appeared on file-sharing networks on the Internet, two weeks before the album's official release date.

Billboard reports that a band spokesperson said U2 were aware of the situation but that no decision had been made to move forward the album's release.

In July an unmixed version of the album went missing during a photo shoot in France.

New albums by Eminem, Destiny's Child and Snoop Dogg have all had their release dates moved forward due to piracy fears.
