Over the weekend the official Madonna site madonna.com was designed to look like it was hacked and the entire new 'American Life' album offered for a free download.

Every song from the Madonna album was available to save as MP3 just as the album was shipping into store.

So ... is this a real hack or a crafty promotional stunt?

A real hacker you would think would be directing the downloads to a third party site but all of the MP3 files are coming off a madonna.com server.

All 11 tracks from 'American Life' are there to grab as of early Sunday morning. We shall all see how long it lasts.

Meanwhile, it looks like it could be a very clever publicity stunt. Madonna is certainly suffering a backlash from her highly emotional, newly discarded anti-Bush video and the preceived attack could be viewed as a strategic plan to win back 'votes' from the disillusioned fanclub.

Well done Maddie. It almost fooled us.



not with 192kb/s probably lame encodes... hells no!
