Atlanta singer/songwriter and VP of Island/Def Jam Records Leaked his song Champagne as part of a FBI plot to track down music pirating computer hackers. News of the song's leak, along with the song itself, spread rapidly on the internet yesterday (May 12). The song was encrypted with a federal tag which helped FBI investigators catch three individuals. Apparently, the R&B singer has been working with the FBI and using encryption tags on his music since 2009. He announced the capture of the three hackers via Twitter.
