Although it's not the first time it happens, new songs have just got published on YouTube even if they were scheduled for a later release date. This time, the leaked songs
belong to Oasis and, according to various sources, they were supposed to be included into the band's new album. Web User informs that the three songs which reached the web are "I Wanna Live In A Dream In My Record Machine", "Nothing On Me" and "Stop The Clocks". Some of them were already removed from Google's video sharing service, but users are continuously uploading them all over the world so they are still available on other YouTube-like services.

Some users find these leaks "absolutely awesome" while others believe that such songs published on the web before their official launch date do nothing than to affect the band, in our case Oasis. Here are some of the users' reactions posted on the official Oasis website:

"I feel proud to have been one of the first (considering how many millions of Oasis fans there are out there) to have heard it - sounds just like I imagined actually." - brightmeister.

"Amazing tune. Even better than I expected. One of his best songs I think." - Kingo

"Oasis... are trying to remove them, Oasis don't want the songs heard until they're ready." - Magic_Zak no.1

"I doubt any of the 3 songs leaked will be on the new album." - buckz1985

This is not the first time when some content got leaked and published on the web but, what the users don't know is that publishing such a song on the Internet may have serious consequences for them. For instance, a long time ago, a user nicknamed EcoTotal who had uploaded some clips on YouTube before their official release was sued by the copyright holder.
