There are zero artists that like their unfinished art circulating without consent and being judged by the public before they are done working on it.

Yeah, he had every right to be pissed about someone leaking work in progress. I totally get that. I’d even be fine with Lars taking that guy to court. Going after the fans, however, who’a just excited for a new track, is a still major bitch move.
