Web pirates plunder Gnarls Barkley

Bootleg copies of 'Odd Couple' leak online

Avast! Web pirates have made off with "The Odd Couple."

No, not the Neil Simon play or film but the new album by platinum pop duo Gnarls Barkley. More than a month ahead of the record's April 8 release date, the Web is crawling with bootleg copies of the CD.

It's the second high-profile hiccup for Gnarls members Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse in less than a week: Their video for "Odd Couple's" first single, "Run," failed the Harding test -- a guideline designed to keep flickering seizure-inducing video off the air.

"Crazy," indeed.
