"illiteracy will prevail" remained a highly sought-after and elusive item for collectors as nirvana rose to fame, became extensively bootlegged, and ultimately had their career cut short by cobain's death in 1994. numerous forgeries arose before an incomplete, poor-quality version of the demo was leaked in march 2006. a week later, three full songs from the demo were briefly hosted on a myspace site ("sound of dentage", "bambi slaughter" and "laminated effect"). the clips were confirmed authentic by collector mike ziegler and others who had heard the demo.
