I think that Jack is totally in line here... where do these radio DJs get off playing the record in its entirety on the radio before the release date. These folks are the mailing list to get records before release date with the caveat that they won't play/distribute it before the release date. They are on this mailing list so that they can get familiar with the album ahead of time - so they are prepared when it is released. It is a privilege - not a right. Sure there's drugs and hookers in the music industry, but that doesn't mean that there's no expectation of common courtesy.

To step over that rule of common courtesy is rude and they should be held accountable... which means they should expect that someone is going to call them on it and chew them out.

And that guy he punched totally had it coming to him. That's what happens when you pick a fight with someone... sometimes they punch back.
