Simon Cowell sought help from the police after Leona Lewis’ new single—a collaboration with Justin Timberlake—was leaked on the Internet. Not good for the business!
Music mogul Simon Cowell was left fuming when he found out that hackers had targeted his record company’s computers and stole Leona Lewis’ new single, “Don’t Let Me Down.” Are they using a Mac or a PC? Are they sure it wasn’t an inside job?
Cowell was considering releasing the song as the Leona’s first track from her second album, but the completed (as in the final mix!) recording has found its way on the World Wide Web.
Those who are planning to download the leaked track, be very careful! Sony BMG spin-off Syco has already released a statement after the incident saying:
“Syco are working alongside the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, the British Phonographic Industry, the police and investigators in this and they are making fast progress.
“We will certainly look to bring charges against those who are responsible. We cannot give any more details at this stage for operational reasons.”
It seems like Cowell should enforce a stricter security measures on his record company, as this is not the first time that his talents have become “prey” to music pirates. Just last month, yes, July 2009, Britain’s X Factor winner Alexandra Burke’s unfinished recordings were also leaked on the Internet.
To Simon and his talents, be careful next time!
