   tybees says I understand why you felt it was necessary to do that. It's quite aggrivating, though. I was shocked when I read the comment from websheriff. Are you on multiply? I posted about what was said "here":http://tybees.multiply.com/journal/item/7 because I almost could not believe it.

Anonymous says Web Sheriff Protecting Your Rights on the Internet Tel 44-(0)208-323 8013 / Fax 44-(0)208-323 8080 websheriff@websheriff.com www.websheriff.com Hi Again Diplognat, Many thanks for your reply and we do - genuinely - appreciate both your position and your enthusiasm for the artist ... .. the only problem is that (a) it is possible to 'capture' the stream and convert it into an exportable mp3 file (or, worse still, a bittorrent) so your gesture, whilst very well intentioned, became a primary source of piracy (which, unfortunately, will have resulted in mp3 and / or torrent files and has now left the artist and label with an on-going and unwanted headache to deal with) ... .. also, (b) the Buy-Early-Get-Now pre-order promotion is not a free stream as such ... .. as you know, you have to buy / pre-order the album first in order to qualify for the stream of the album and, now, the "Speed of Luxury" bonus track, so it would simply have been better to have posted a link to Matador and / or the BEGN promotion. Anyway, thank you for your honest reply and your speedy removal of the file : we'll shall ensure that - as a true fan of the band - no further action shall be taken against you by anyone (especially not by RIAA - no door knocking in this instance !!). Once Again, With Thanks & Regards, WEB SHERIFF

   RSL says I forgot to mention: Don't play this music at a party, another common "primary source" of piracy. Guests could be carrying a tape recorder or even use their cellphone to record the music and offer it on the bittorrents. It _is_ permissible to play a maximum of two songs to party guests who have receipts indicating ownership of the record [photocopies are not acceptable] and the proper forms of identification. If you desire to do so, please contact Matador for the proper paperwork at least 10 working days before your get-together. One More Time Now, WEB SHERIFF

   jameson says In fact, don't even listen to said track. People might incidentally hear it, which, as you know, causes problems for Matador.
