I disagree. The leaked copy isn't album quality, imo. And most people, imo, want album quality. Thus, they'll buy the CD for that reason if they really like it. Additionally, not everyone who has a PC has a CD burner installed. What happens if they want to take the CD on the road with them? They'll have to buy the real thing.

Secondly, most people who have DLed this are diehard Stapp fans. So of course they will want to support his solo efforts.

I never said everyone is like this, that everyone who likes the CD will buy it. But I think the vast majority of those who like it will buy it, if for no other reason than to get the album artwork and case, as well as the quality. That is why I do not think it will have that much of an impact on sales.
