The Life of Pablo has been illegally downloaded half a million times amid a series of delays and technical fails.
The album release of Kanye West's The Life of Pablo (TLOP) has been called "messy" by fans and is thought to have led to over 500,000 illegal downloads, TorrentFreak estimates.

Instead, on the day of its release, the long-awaited TLOP was leading the list of most shared music torrents on popular torrent site The Pirate Bay, TorrentFreak claimed.
The album is also being widely distributed illegally on several direct download services and hosting sites.
West debuted the album at a listening party in Madison Square Garden on Thursday 11 February.

TLOP's official release, initially set for 12 February, was delayed after the rapper announced he wanted to include additional tracks on the album.
The full album was eventually released on Valentine's Day morning, allowing fans to stream TLOP from Jay Z's Tidal service and pay for digital copies.
However, a number of Tidal users claimed that despite paying up to $20 or £20 for a digital copy, they received nothing.
Many users also claimed their credit cards had been charged twice for the album, as well as being charged for multiple verification fees of $1, TechCrunch reported.
