Music Company Pirates Its Own Track

Remember BitTorrent and how much the music industry hates it? Well, according to this post by TorrentFreak, a band manager at Atlantic stuck a track on the file sharing service, then issued a release saying isn't it terrible that someone is pirating this song.

Here's the part of the text of the release where they attempted to spread this lie.

"Too Drunk...," a featured track from "BLACK BUTTERFLY," recently appeared online at a number of BitTorrent sites. Buckcherry has released an official statement regarding the song's unscheduled arrival, declaring, "Honestly, we hate it when this s*** happens, because we want our FANS to have any new songs first."

TorrentFreak tracked the IP address of the original poster to none other than Josh Klemme, the band manager. From TorrentFreak:

Klemme has been caught with his pants down, and he will probably think twice before he tries to pull off a stunt like this again. A song doesn’t leak by itself and pirates don’t have some sort of superhuman ability to get their hands on pre-release material. No, most leaked movies, TV-shows and albums come from the inside so blaming pirates is useless.

Honestly, I hate it when this s*** happens, because fans shouldn't be blamed for band manager stunts and lies.

Thanks for reading, and don't forget to write.
