chartattack.com: Is it at all possible that this whole mysteriously stolen U2 CD incident is simply a publicity hoax perpetrated by the artists themselves? Of course, we'd never suggest such a thing, but Bono’s recent statement that the band may release the entire album on iTunes immediately if the songs were to turn up seems to make the whole situation a bit more suspect.
