I think, if they were really afraid about people recording their in-work songs, they wouldn't let fans hang out in front of the studio, the wouldn't play tracks to fans, they wouldn't play new songs at a volume easily audible by passing tourists...
What they worry about imo is that copies of the masters or other studio quality outtakes might leak. And they're right about that.
Agreed. I think as free promotion, though, it's pretty harmless. I certainly don't mind it, and neither does anyone else who downloads these clips.
