During the making of a certain studio album, MJ used to rent recording studios for continuous periods, even for off-periods when he was temporarily not recording in a particular studio.
He did that as a precaution so as to keep them closed to third-parties (who were not involved in his recordings) in order to minimize the risk of leaks of his songs.
In the Internet era, another example is ‘Blue Gangsta’. Tempamental took MJ’s vocals from that song (without MJ’s consent) & he illegally created a freely available song under the title ‘Gangsta (No Friend of Mine)’.
Tempamental’s case shows that some artists (who are in possession of MJ’s unreleased material) can act in a very unethical way to their advantage.
There is also a different form of leaks of MJ’s songs that took place before the advent of the Internet era.
Various US-located radio stations & DJs managed (in a magical way) to get hold of his songs prior to their official releases.
For example, tracks of the ‘Dangerous’ album (especially, ‘Black Or White’ aired illegally by several radio stations (a week before the album’s official release), much to MJ’s dismay.
