Beyonce album release date brought forward

Beyonce Knowles' debut solo album Dangerously In Love has been moved forward two weeks to counter piracy, after advance copies of 50 Cent's album appeared on the streets.

The release of Beyonce Knowles' debut solo album 'Dangerously In Love' (with its many collaborations – including Missy Elliot, Jay-Z, Sean Paul, D-Roy & Mr. B, OutKast's Big Boi, and Luther Vandross) has been pushed forward two weeks in an attempt to stop pirating. Though this move seems to be targeting traditional bootlegging rather than downloading – word is advanced copies of major artist albums are big business after 50 Cent's 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin' album was found to be available on the streets of NY.
