Black Eyed Peas hitmaker Will.i.Am has admitted that the leaking of songs is inevitable because as soon as a track has been made it's more or less in the public domain.

'Scream & Shout', which is his brand new collaboration with Britney Spears, was due to premiere officially this afternoon (November 19), but leaked prematurely over the weekend and Will.i.Am told Billboard that you can never trust anyone you work with in a studio setting:

"Well, that's done. You can't undo it. It's out. It made it real. But once things go to the editing and coloring, it's not in your control."

"You don't know what that intern's getting paid. Or not getting paid. You don't know what's going on in their heads."
