GWEN HURRIED TO MARKET: Universal records got wind that Gewn Stefani's solo single What You Waiting For had leaked, which - in a rare act of a record label being proactive, prompted them to rush the official version to radio stations.



Universal was quite excited that having a digital distribution system would let them do this almost instantaneously - indeed, they press released the story - but surely the bigger question is: if the bootleggers could get the physical copies out to radio stations so quickly, why the hell couldn't an international record company?
