2020 riverscuomo.com leak

From Weezerpedia

On November 7, 2020, fans noticed hundreds of Dropbox links to demos viewable in the storefront's source code, which were quickly shared among fans. Cuomo was notified of the error the following morning, giving an update on his wiki on November 9, stating: "I'm hurt that someone downloaded and distributed the demos. I wish everyone would help me when I make mistakes in my code, rather than take advantage of me."

Despite the leak, Cuomo proceeded to launch the demo storefront on November 11, featuring over 300 of the nearly 500 songs that leaked initially, along with additional demos of "If I Fell", "Make Me a Pallet", and "Happy Trails". The storefront gave purchasers the option to share the purchased songs freely with other users by making them appear on the purchasing user's profile page. The songs sold out in less than two hours.
