TIDAL delivered its first major exclusive on Friday – "Die With You," a new track written and performed by Beyonce. But within minutes of the exclusive release, fans had ripped it and plastered it across the internet, including on YouTube.
As of Monday morning this version has been viewed more than 330,000 times.
