span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">But the label has a different approach to counteract the breach (record labels nowadays are suffering because of the Internet and are fighting tooth and nail to regain control and make music less able to be copied and distributed online illegally).
Fall Out Boy rocked the David Letterman Show Monday night (video below) to launch a series of appearances in coming weeks to promote their new CD Infinity on High, officially released Feb. 6.
A couple of weeks ago, the band and its label, Island Records, were reeling after FOB's new album was leaked on the Internet by an unknown source.
In response, the band posted a video and audio sample of the single "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race".
To sweeten the deal and attract fans to buy the new CD, rather than download it by some other means, the label has added a previously unreleased live EP performance of the band's new CD.
Rumors ran rampant on message boards over the past weekend that the new album would be released today on Jan. 30. But the band's singer and bassist Peter Wentz dispelled those rumors, telling MTV News International in London the album will not be officially released until Feb. 6.
