Online Album Leak Benefits Chicago Antipoverty Charity

May 15, 2009, 12:58 pm

The rock band Wilco is seeking charitable donations from fans who download its new album now that it was leaked onto the Internet this week, Billboard reports.

In an e-mail message to fans, the musicians suggested that as “guilt abatement,” people who get free copies make a donation to Inspiration Corporation, which serves the poor and homeless in Chicago.

“We’ve seen a spike in online donations and are hoping for a sustained bump in giving from Wilco fans,” said John Pfeiffer, the charity’s executive director.
