"If you give away some tracks free they will soon come to you"

Agreed, but that's a very different kettle of fish from having someone else give away your tracks with out asking, and in this case it was the whole album, and the person who did it had no right (i.e. copyright) to do so.

Creative commons is also fine if you that's what you want but (a) you have to release with the Creative Commons license in the first place and (b) anyone who copies your work must read, respect and pass on that license with any copies they make.
