FALL OUT BOY - FALL OUT BOY POINT FINGER OF BLAME

LATEST: FALL OUT BOY are blaming a disenchanted factory worker for their recent album leak. INFINITY ON HIGH was prematurely released on the web ahead of its official 6 February (07) date and the group are speculating someone at the record's manufacturing plant had hoped to earn easy money from the piracy. Bassist PETE WENTZ says, "Our job is to put out records and tour and make music. What are we gonna do? Sit at the plant and watch everybody? "Some guy working minimum wage, why would he care how it affects us? It's a multi-pronged thing." He adds the theft could have a devastating effect, not only on his band, but the entire record industry: "This could be the worst leak in the history in music. If you think that every year computers, iPod, internet music grows exponentially and we're probably one of the biggest bands in rock music on the internet." The group has no plans to bring the official album release date forward as a result of the leak.
