The Web Sheriff, Policing The Internets.

I can tell you that I have been to several sites today that had the White Stripes song leaks. Unfortunatly these songs were taken down and the only place I know that still has download links available is Strike Gently. I wanted to post this letter that was in the comments section over at Whudahexup to let everyone know the future we are facing. Visit the web site and take a look at the services this company offers.

Without Prejudice

Dear Whudahexup,

We notice that you have uploaded further pirate files of unreleased WHITE STRIPES material. We have already asked you (very politely) to respect the artist's wishes and remove the previous files, which you did ; but, in re-posting further material, you may leave us with little alternative other than to involve attorneys and the RIAA. Meanwhile, your site may also be temporarily closed until such time as these files have been removed. Once again, please remove these links asap in order that further action can be avoided.

Many thanks in advance.

As you will appreciate, this message is written on a without prejudice basis and, as such, all of our clients' accumulated, worldwide rights remain strictly reserved : please excuse this required formality.

Regards,

WEB SHERIFF
