More frequently than ever before, superstar artists are finding their videos leaked to YouTube. Although the record labels attempt to control the piracy, it is usually quite easy to find new versions of hit songs.
The latest victim is Fergie. Labels or Love, the new song by Fergie has been leaked! The theatrical release of the much awaited Sex and the City movie is scheduled for May 30th, but for those die hard fans who simply can't wait (I may be one!), there is a tiny consolation that might make the wait more bearable: the lead song of the movie Labels or Love performed by Fergie, has been leaked online. I found the song skulking around YouTube.
