the fact that it's taking U2 so long to confirm the release of this EP (which is due in a month) leads me to believe there's a larger release strategy in the works.
or at least hope as much..

Or they don't know the fanbase has found out?

That's the most likely one. They didn't know NLOTH was leaked until after the weekend either, site was fixed slowly. Though that's not strictly U2.com, it's still something they never noticed.. And it took them ages to get back when they got hacked by BaGoL.

yeah but sites like Amazon don't put up releases when they feel like it.. details were released to retailers.. I don't think U2.com is unaware

They can put things up as soon as the record company gives the green light. So the band must know.
That doesn't necessarily mean U2.com are aware though...

sometimes i think boner doesn't actually know what the interwebs is and just gets briefed on technology before going on tv, like he was nixon or somethin'.

Really? Is U2.com ever aware of anything?

Yeah, about two months after the rest of the world is.

I think U2.com is too preocupied trickling out show information to worry about anything else.

Did U2.com ever post anything about the IGCIIDGCT 12" release? I'm pretty sure we learned about that one through retail sources and I don't recall U2.com ever acknowledging it.
So U2 (Paul Mcguinness) always speaks against pirating and illegal downloads..so their solution is to release an EP (with a song that the fan base has been anticipating for years) onto vinyl only, where the majority of their fans will have to illegally download it because they don't own a record player anymore! What am I missing?

I guess their logic is that CD sales are down, vinyls going up, let's release this crappy 3-song live record and see how it goes?

What's so hard about keeping us informed? Is it normal for a band to keep its fans in the dark most of the time? U2 talk about wanting to use technology, but they are the worst when it comes to utilizing the internet.

Muse is the only other band I'm really into enough to really follow their rumors and news and their website and facebook page is great for keeping the fans informed with up to date news. I'm on a couple mailing lists for other acts and they usually let you know what's going on as well. Wish I could say the same for U2.com
i've said this for the past few years. for a band who likes to claim (and at one point they were correct) about being tech savy, no other band keeps their fans in the dark like U2 does.
I think more of it now is they're busy with families, so there's just nothing to really say. Then you get interviews, and Bono goes into full hype mode just to keep excitement up.
I personally don't think they have anything ready to go (which doesn't mean this Wide Awake thing is not true).
Once we get closer to the tour kickoff, I'm sure we'll get more quotes and a better idea.

i just reported them to the Better Business Bureau. this has to stop!
Are you really gonna play Streets, One and WOWY?
I will download it definately. And I'm not gonna pay for it.
Thirty years I bought their records and even the superduperdeluxe 100 dollar boxes I bought. They've become millionairs a long time ago, and I'm responsible for that (with me a lot of fans). And I will buy new cd's, because this band is special. So, Paul McGuinness should not talk about these questions (he'd better invest in communication with fans; look at Radiohead). It's more a political game. It's the young bands who suffer most from illegal downloading.

And independent record stores.
But yeah, I've purchased bread and food from supermarkets for years, the chains are multimillion corporations, so I am just going to start shoplifting food now.
muse aren't 50 years old.
Looks like Variety has picked up this story.
