Do release dates really mean anything anymore?

"unwanted leak," "undisclosed date in March."
It's not "unwanted" if you allow your work to "leak" and it's not "undisclosed" once we know the album will be released on one of the 31 days of March. Yawn, such a played out strategy. Just about any artist under the sun since the Napster era has pulled this trick, or tried to. The industry, musicians and the media need to collectively stop ascribing the word "leak" to preview work that's deliberately released by its own publishers. Does anybody still fall for such an unimaginative publicity stunt?
