Smart Move

I think the Amr Diab website have done a good thing when they decided to close the forums for a couple of days until the album hits the market. This way, they have limited the spread of the leaked version, which is available only on one site, and kept the potential damage to sales to a minimum.

However, even if the link to the page that has the leaked album has been widely distributed, I think only a few would be able to download it because the hosting server would crash down under the high demand. Reports talk about fake copies of the album being sold in Kuwait and Egypt, but I think real fans won't be fooled.
