Vantage Point is no longer available on the Spanish Heineken-website. Yesterday all Belgian newssites (starting with Het Laatste Nieuws) reported about the pre-listening possibily as Heineken.es. Obviously Universal (the record company for Belgium) wasn't very happy about it.
The deal with Heineken was made by Co-operative Music (COOP), the late V2, the record company that is representing dEUS in the rest of the world. Universal didn't known about the deal.
Yesterday evening, while the news had been widely spread in Belgium, Heineken removed the album. It's still unclear if this incident will affect other (already announced) pre-listening possibilities such as the VPRO-luisterpaal.

Update: dEUS manager Christian Pierre was interviewed by Focus Knack about this.
