Well, the wait is over, after 4 long years U2 have a title and release date for their new album “No Line On The Horizon” .

The new album will be on sale in music stores on November 14. There’s already circulating on the web the name of some of the songs: “Moment of Surrender,” “For Your Love,” “Love Is All We Have Left”, “One Bird”, “If I Could Live My Life Again,” “The Cedars of Lebanon” and “No Line On The Horizon.”

This is the first original work since the band released the smash-hit How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb in November 2004. This album sold an incredible 10 million copies and picked up eight Grammy Awards.

U2 is also planning a huge worldwide tour, and it’s expected that they announce details of the tour after they release the album, so let’s save the date because you know that each U2 concert it’s a whole new experience!

Simple. With one goverment study we can debunk the lie created by the music industry about “pirates” and their supposedly spin over losses.

* When assessing the P2P downloading population, there was “a strong positive relationship between P2P file sharing and CD purchasing. That is, among Canadians actually engaged in it, P2P file sharing increases CD purchases.” The study estimates that one additional P2P download per month increases music purchasing by 0.44 CDs per year.

* When viewed in the aggreggate (ie. the entire Canadian population), there is no direct relationship between P2P file sharing and CD purchases in Canada. According to the study authors, “the analysis of the entire Canadian population does not uncover either a positive or negative relationship between the number of files downloaded from P2P networks and CDs purchased. That is, we find no direct evidence to suggest that the net effect of P2P file sharing on CD purchasing is either positive or negative for Canada as a whole.

Thanks to Boing Boing.
