The Web Sheriff Strikes Again!

Icky Thump leaked today and th Web Sheriff was on top of it. It's out there though and we promise to have a link up by the end of the day. Gander on to read the Web Sheriff's latest comments on Whudahexup. My favorite part is the NME plug at the end.

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Hi Luiis & Whudahexup Bloggers,

As you know, traffic on this (unreleased) album is being monitored and removed ... .. and not just by Web Sheriff, but also by Warners and their attorneys so, if you have to indulge in this activity (which Jack and Meg would rather you didn't), then do it off-line / do not 'broadcast' it. Otherwise your details will be harvested and you may be hearing from Warners and / or the RIAA.

Whilst we're not at all against free music, at the end of the day it should be (and is) the artist's decision as to whether or not they allow albums to circulate before release, as it's THEIR MUSIC !! For the avoidance of doubt, the Q101 broadcast yesterday was NOT authorised (so there are no double standards applying here).

On behalf of the artist and their label, thank you for respecting their wishes and, if you want good quality, non-pirated preview tracks, NME magazine are offering 2 tracks by The White Stripes on coloured vinyl with next week's issue.

Regards,

WEB SHERIFF
