Pop star Britney Spears is upset that someone released a leaked copy of her new single, “Work Bitch.”
Her manager Adam Leber is also irate:
Incredibly upset that a low quality recording of #WORKBxxCH leaked last night, ruining the fans first experience with the song.

We have moved the radio premier up 24 hours so you guys can hear the song the way it was intended to be heard…

and now we are working on moving the iTunes release up 24 hours as well. SPREAD THE WORD!

Disheartening that one bad apple had to spoil our release for the entire fan community but nonetheless, we hope you love #WORKBxxCH

PS- Please do your best and try and restrain yourselves from listening for a few hours until the actual mastered version airs on radio 🙂

We’re pretty sure Spears and Leber’s concern has nothing to do with the poor quality of the leaked recording. What really worries them, we suspect, is that people who download the leaked copy won’t download the real thing, which of course means less revenue for Team Spears.
Most people in the pop music industry are very liberal, but they certainly do support capitalism when it comes to their own music.
